What are you so afraid of?
Apr 25, 2023
I've coached over 1000 people.
Regardless of what I'm helping a person with, there's a common theme that always rears its head. - fear.
Fear is one of the biggest obstacles we face as entrepreneurs. It can be downright paralyzing and hold us back from taking risks that we need to grow.
It is my belief that one of the skills you need to master as an entrepreneur, is changing your relationship with fear.
Sometimes, we just have to grit our teeth, close our eyes, and do it anyway.
Here are three things that have helped me in my journey to move through fear:
- Acknowledge it: First things first, don't try to brush your fear under the rug. Admit it's there and that it's okay to feel scared.
- Focus on the positives: Instead of dwelling on what could go wrong, focus on what can go right. When we focus on the potential benefits of taking risks, it can help to flip our mindset from scared to excited.
- Take baby steps: It's okay to take things one step at a time. Break your goals down into smaller, more manageable tasks so you don't feel overwhelmed. This can help to build your confidence and show you that you're capable of taking on bigger challenges.
The truth is - we are all scared - especially when we're doing things for the first time.
Sometimes, you just have to do it anyway.
