From Employee to Self-Employed, Facing Our Fears

One of the best thing and greatest benefit in going from Emp. to Entre.  is that you discover a lot about yourself, including the many talents you never realized you had! How lovely.

It's a big step, but you just know you have to face your fears if you want to change your life. When we try to escape our fears, they often overtake us. If we are intimidated by success, we may unwittingly avoid these actions that lead to achievement.

Fear inevitably leads to procrastination and when we allow our fear to stifle us, things only become worse. Remember, over time, you will be facing New Fears. (can I manage my cashflow) (Each time we triumph over a fear, we grow in CONFIDENCE and we realize that they are tolerable.)

Learning COURAGE is not about taking risks, but actually learning to be braver in both your business and your personal life. Conquering FEAR is a SKILL, not an art. It is acquired with practice and determination. COURAGE is not the absence of FEAR, but the WILLINGNESS to OVERCOME it. A successful entrepreneur always say they were scared out of their minds, but that they also felt exhilerated, liberated, challenged and more alive than ever. The flip side to fear is the adrenaline, motivation, and power but to train by challenging yourself with smaller efforts before jumping into a big risk with both feet.

"So ask everytime you fall, what did you learn." Reflect.
