I have my LinkedIn Live approved for years but I have yet the time to go about it. Or actually the courage.
But yesterday, I suddenly felt like doing it (after 3 shots of Vodka, no less). While I was being chauffeured to GSC to watch Top Gun, I thought, why not go live since I was tipsy & stuck in traffic anyways. Besides, it’s so me. Insecure. Impromptu. Impulsive.
Turned out, it is not as simple as that.
I actually need to set up a streaming tool, first. Connect the tool with LinkedIn, then only can go live. Not mentioning there are also 33 + 17 pages of manuals on best practices and producer’s guide to read & understand before I go live.
Heh. I still wanted it to do it anyways – going live. Because if I don’t do it now, I don’t know when will I am going to have the courage again to do it ever. So, for the first time in my life, I went live on Facebook. For 10 minutes. Babbling away.
It was awkward. It was clumsy. It was so unplanned.
But very satisfying. Because I finally did it. It felt like that old Lao Tzu saying, you know, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” And we can all agree, it’s always the first step that is always the hardest.
Fear, is temporary. Regret, is forever.
Anyways, I really need to go find time to go set up that streaming thing & read the manuals. Meanwhile, I can just be a guest in others LinkedIn Live sessions, I supposed. Like this one tomorrow. I will be debuting on 30 May 2022 8pm on #TKSS with Eric & Dan talking about our Rojak Slang Culture in Malaysia.
And you will get to see me live being awkward, clumsy and super unplanned. I just pray that I won’t chicken and FFK them ðŸ¤
