Nah Dan you aren't crazy at all. I love your boldness. I see so few people who do this kind of thing...it's great to see.
I did the same kind of thing with my coaching/speaking career. I had practically no experience speaking in front of people but set the goal to be a platform speaker!!!! That was just over 2 years ago. Like you, I joined toastmasters and started to learn. I crashed and burned in a few of my early talks but over time I got the hang of it. About a year ago, I did a talk to 400 college kids for about $1000 which was quite a drastic improvement compared to where I was when I started. I continue to increase my speaking abilities and it is way more fun than scary now that I have put the time in.
My only advice would be to prepare yourself to put in the work. If things go great this Monday...GREAT, keep going. If not...GREAT, keep going. Just stick with it!
