Resolving to influence and persuade others will require a degree of personal passion and a depth of caring that you are willing to express and act on. I can tell you this: it will make you feel very vulnerable. The only antidote is to believe you are after a worthwhile change and that you are likely to be the right one to lead this particular charge. Charlotte Beers
About This Quote

If you decide to change the world by influencing others, you will have to accept that you are willing to put yourself out there. You will have to believe that you are doing the right thing. If you are not sure about that, then I would encourage you to begin with something smaller. Start with a few friends who are already on your side of the issue.

Ask them what they think and start with small conversations. The more people who know about what you are trying to accomplish, the easier it will be for them to be on your side.
