We talk about Jessica's new book, "I Almost Cancelled: Showing Up When Fear Tells You to Stay Home." Jessica Bettencourt knows what it’s like to face rejection, feel like she doesn’t belong, and second-guess big decisions. But she also knows that we have to face fear and risk failure to live out our calling. In I Almost Cancelled, Jessica shares how one scary decision after another led to a life she couldn’t even imagine. Her storytelling and southern charm will have you laughing at times and crying at others. She shows you step by step how to overcome self-doubt and build the life you’ve always wanted-not the life others tell you to want.
We get to hear Jessica's love story of meeting her future husband on a spring break trip. She was raised in a strict Christian home and would not have been allowed to go to spring break in Florida to galavant around the beach in a bikini, but her friend heard of an evangelist who was holding revival services. So they would spend the afternoons on the beach and evenings in the church. During the trip, she met her future husband on the beach, dated long distance for a long time, and eventually, they got married.
"Thankfully, I kept showing up, so I wanted to cancel. There are days I still want to cancel, but I have a no-cancellation policy in my life, and I show up." - Jessica Bettencourt
By having a no-cancellation policy you will train yourself to not put things on your calendar that you will dread.
We talk through how to say "no" even to things that are good things but may not align with your goals at this time.
"Everything is figureoutable and most things are fixable." - Jessica Bettencourt
We spend time talking about the difference between leadership and management. And how Jessica grew her first business and eventually handed over the reins to her husband who had a much different approach to leadership than her and the lessons she learned along the way.
