My First Experience with Periscope

My first experience with Periscope …

was NOT perfect!

Periscope is the new social media platform from Twitter that streams your live videos for a 24 hour time period.

It’s brand new, it just launched and today I did my first Periscope video WITHOUT

without waiting to go through training to learn how to do everything perfectly …

without waiting to understand it completely …

without waiting to let others forge ahead and then watch how they are doing it.

My first Periscope video was terribly pixalated

And it WASN’T perfect!

Am I embarrassed?   Am I fretting about the poor video quality?

NOPE!  

Because, here’s the thing.

There is always going to be another new social media platform introduced as technology and creative minds develop new ideas.

There is always going to be that learning curve that will keep you feeling like you will never “get it.”

Most of the time, that’s what keeps people stuck … thinking they have to have everything lined up perfectly and know it all BEFORE they start DOING.

Jumping in today on Periscope and shooting my first video did not turn out perfect.  In fact, the video was so pixalated that you couldn’t see the beautiful Ozark woods I was walking through.

Did I fret? Did I worry about what people thought?

NOPE!   I just chalked it up to a learning experience.  (and what I learned is that a slow internet connection will cause this kind of visual issue)

Am I embarrassed?  Not even!

Here’s my first Periscope video – but it’s only available to view for 24 hours.

Periscope is such a fantastic new social media platform that is growing like wildfire.

I’m feeling pretty awesome for daring to boldly go into this new venture today.

I hesitated on Instagram when it first was introduced (thinking I needed some “training” before I messed up.)

I hesitated to learn how to market on Pinterest when I watched other marketers using it to build their businesses. (WATCHED is the key word here.)

My actions today have erased the memories of all those times I hesitated and wished I had been in at the beginning of something.

What’s holding you back right now from jumping on Periscope?
