Stop Running Scared

Stop Running Scared: Confronting Fear Head-On

Recently in my coaching sessions, I keep hearing people who say they are living in fear, working in fear, or being paralyzed by fear. I’ve also heard that the vast majority of people feel undervalued, insecure, or lost.

The Power of Faith Over Fear

Remember that the antidote for fear is faith. If you grow in your faith, you will vanquish your fears. Also, the more you focus on serving others, the less time you’ll have to think about your fears.

Why Intimidation Holds You Back

Many people are fearful because someone is intimidating them. It could be someone in a personal relationship, a family member, a boss, or negative friends who don’t understand your vision or share your passion.

When micromanagers or toxic people try to break your spirit, just keep saying silently to yourself these 8 words: “I don’t care, what you think, about anything.”

Taking Back Control: Your Mindset Matters

You’ll be amazed at how liberated you feel when you take away somebody else’s power to make you feel small. As Tom Peters said, “If you’re not pushing hard enough to get fired, you’re not pushing hard enough.” I’m not saying I want you to lose your job. I’m just saying that you probably haven’t tapped into your full potential yet because of fear. I don’t ever remember taking a risk in business that I regret — even if there were negative consequences because at least I learned something.

Embrace Risk: Unlock Your Full Potential

So, I challenge you not to be afraid to push the envelope, and to release your inner-maverick. It’s high time you become a leader worth following by focusing on becoming a master problem solver. So, stop running scared and start lifting others up and help them lose their fear as well. That’s how you become an ultimate entrepreneur.

“Courage is knowing what not to fear.” – Plato
