Does Fear Bug You?
Over the last week, I have been able to spend time with Harper Grace. She never ceases to amaze me. From the attention she pays to detail, to the unfearful will to succeed she shows daily, she has always given 110% in everything she attempts, and because of that, I havenāt seen anything she hasnāt been able to accomplish.
Fear is one thing I face daily, and It really āBugsā me that I allow fear to play a role in hindering our success as a business.
Those around me probably think Iām fearless when it comes to most things. I hunt, I fish, Iām not afraid of snakes, I tackle most things head on, Iām not afraid to try new things, I take risks at my age that many would not even try.
Over the years I have been able to learn to Fly an Airplane, Scuba Dive, Own and Operate a Machine Shop, design my own house and have someone build it, manage a Family Entertainment Facility, Rebuild Farm Equipment, became a Professional Locksmith, Became a Foreman of someone elseās Machine Shopā¦ and so much more.
To be honest, FEAR Played a role in most of the events that I have mentioned above in some form or another.
When starting our Journey in Affiliate Marketing, the fear was real. Going into a new business that I knew nothing about, learning how things work in Affiliate Marketing and the tools involved in building websites, emails, and such can seem to be overwhelming at times.
How we tackle FEAR, I believe, is directly related to how far and how fast we succeed in what we attempt to accomplish.
In one of Deanās training modules, he talks about FEAR being a product and a natural result of Protection, Risk, Danger, and survival.
We can also have a FEAR of Success and FEAR of Failure.
Dean shared a statement which Tony Robbins madeā¦ āI donāt have to get rid of Fear, I just have to dance with itā
I also believe that Fear can be taught. Throughout our entire life we are influenced by others and see so many negative results of outcomes where others have attempted a task and failed. We end up telling ourselves things must be too hard or too complicated.
If FEAR can be taught, then HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR can be taught. If we are the teacher, we must train our brains that we can be fearful but do it anywayā¦
Now, donāt go out and jump off a 10-story building thinking you can learn to flap your arms and fly before you hit the ground!
We must use and apply common sense.
Iām talking about overcoming FEAR as it applies to things in our business, or in areas where it is preventing us from seeing and achieving our POTENTIAL and SUCCESS.
Making videos is one of the areas that I currently struggle with. I have never attempted any kind of video presentations in the past. What if I am terrible? What if the quality is bad? What if people make fun of me? WHAT IF I TRY IT AND SUCCEED? Ā I WILL overcome this fear and when I do, you will see us pass those videos along.
As I stated at the beginning of this post, āFear Bugs Me!ā
As always, Harper Grace shared a valuable lesson in Overcoming that Fear!
