Kick Your Fear of Failure to the Curb

 

Everyone can do it!

Do you have a fear of failure when it comes to quitting your job, growing your business, and achieving your dreams?

You’re not alone.

In fact, MOST people let this fear and its partner-in-crime, the fear of what people will think, control their ENTIRE lives.

In fact, the most common regret at the end of peoples’ lives, according to Bronnie Ware, a lifelong hospice nurse and author of the bestseller The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing?

“I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.”

Don’t let that be you! Today, you can choose to start moving past it. How do you conquer this super-common fear? It’s simple, but not necessarily easy: by TRYING THINGS.

Choose something small, like setting a timer and doing something that’s been scaring you for 5 minutes today, like:

• Reaching out to a potential customer
• Following up with one
• Making a post on your personal page
• Introducing (or re-introducing) yourself in your favorite FB group
• Going on Facebook Live
• Putting pen to paper to process through your biggest goal or fear right now
• Figuring out how you can pay for that business investment you’ve been wanting to make but scared to let yourself have
• Making a connection with someone you admire
• Being honest with someone close to you about your entrepreneurial dreams
• Deciding on a price for your offer
• Posting your offer on your business page

Try that one thing for just 5 minutes, and experience the rush that comes from completing it.

Build that trust in yourself that you CAN accomplish things, and when the big stuff comes, you’ll be more sooooooo confident and ready to give them a go.

Battle Negative Thinking and Win

When life doesn’t go as planned or feels out of control, it’s tempting to fall into a downward spiral of negative thinking. Your mind goes into a tailspin of what-ifs and worst-case-scenarios. Fear and worry take over.

Constantly battling those self-defeating thoughts is both draining and stressful. And think of the ways that energy would be better spent — whether it’s accomplishing goals, setting new ones, or just enjoying life.

Even if you’re not dealing with a major challenge like a break-up, job loss, or a health problem, a negativity spiral has the power to paralyze. Whatever the cause, your happiness depends on being able to stop those critical or defeatist forces in their tracks.
