Dealing With The Fear of Running Your Own Business


Fear is the main reason that only 1% of the population obtains 99% of the wealth. Fear is the number one reason that people fail. Most of them decide to fail before they even start and the rest run scared at the first sign of resistance. The truth is that you're not alone...everyone has been afraid but not everyone is willing to face their fears consistently which has been the key to most successes. There are things that you can do to change your fears or make them seem less scary but you have to be willing to take that first step which is making a decision. Make a decision today and take action!

Once you make a decision to change or expand your horizons by taking action against fear, you will be that much closer to break through. The only way I have obtained major break through is pushing ahead into the unknown.

Here are a couple of tips to help you stay calm along your victorious breakthrough journey!

Tip 1: Control Your Breathing

Have to give a speech or speak in public? In an uncomfortable situation? Learn how to control your breathing. Breathing correctly calms the nervous system and makes you appear and/or sound clear and confident. One technique is to breathe in through your nose for 4 counts, hold your breath for 7 counts, breathe out of your nose for 8counts. Practice doing this until you start to feel calm and can think clearly. This specific breathing technique has been suggested by professionals to help get rid of anxiety attacks or assist you in being released from what I like to call a fear choke hold.

Tip 2: Visualize & Meditate

Do you feel like you're lazy, unworthy, talentless, washed up, etc? Take some time to identify everything that you would like to change about your life. Instead of worrying about what you don't want try to focus on what you do want. Picture yourself daily doing or being everything you wish you were and enjoying those things. Imagine the sounds, smells, desired reaction that you want and watch the situation transform in your mind until you see it tranform in your life.
