In the years I’ve been coaching bold, brilliant, badass female entrepreneurs, I have never once encountered one that was not capable of more than she was experiencing in her business success. Sometimes the issue was skill, occasionally it was will, but nine times out of ten, it came down to fear. Fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of being envied, fear of embarrassment, fear of proving someone right, even fear of betraying their roots are just some of the possibilities. Fear is something we need to learn how to manage if we want to move to a higher level of influence, impact, or income in business. Until we do so, we will stay right where we are, and with the world moving forward at an ever-increasing pace, staying in place is falling behind. The lowdown on fear we will cover in this episode:What we are actually afraid of The 85% error factor Worst case scenario thinking & why we resort to it Fear and secondary gain The alternative to letting fear hold us back Freebie AlertIn order to transform our relationship with fear, we need to re-train our thoughts and reactions.
