Yes, I said it. Fear is normal – an absolutely 100% pure human emotion. BUT (and this is a BIG but here) you CAN NOT let it hold you back. How do you know fear is holding you back? You start polling yourself to death. You ask yourself should I or shouldn’t I more than you take action. So you stand there, absolutely paralyzed, unable to do anything but soak in the same-old, same-old. You might complain about where you are in your business or your current situation. I want more clients. I need more revenue. My investments just aren’t where they should be. Great. You’ve identified the problem. Now what are you going to DO about it? Complaining isn’t going to get you anywhere. You know what will? Action! Decisive action.
There have been many times in my life when I have felt some fear. Now I could have addressed that fear one of two ways. I could have let it paralyze me, or I could have let it MOTIVATE me. I chose the second. I choose the second option every time. It moves me forward and turns that fear into an energy asset versus a liability.
How do you use your fear to move you forward? Comment below.
