OK, so "nerves kill" might be a tad extreme, but they will definitely stop you from making progress if you let em. I had a major break though last week while on a sales training workshop with John Glennon from Sandler Training. He had us break up in groups and try roll playing. It was amazing to see how every person in the group was extremely nervous trying it for the first time. But each time we tried again, it became easier and easier.
It's the same way with cold calling a radio show and asking for an interview. The first is the hardest. And each one gets easier after that.
Don't let nerves stop you from your dreams and goals.
If I can get nervous and I do this for a living, then you can be nervous too.
