All of us have the ability within ourselves to achieve prosperity. Yet it appears only a few fortunate entrepreneurs, people like Bill Gates, Henry Ford, or J.P. Morgan, seem to achieve financial empires. These people make it look easy; yet very few achieve success this big. Why? The answer is quite simple: FEAR…
Every human being has to overcome fear, of course; this is a natural course of life. But the difference between winning or losing is how people deal with fear. Most people hate to leave their “comfort zone.”
How many times have you wanted to just quit your dead end job and go full-time with your massage therapy business, for example? But, you stop yourself and keep the dead-end job because it is comfortable. The secret to being a successful entrepreneur is not being afraid to ‘go for it!’ This means winners take chances. And to be successful… you must learn to take chances, leaving any comfort zones you might have. And the “Yes I Can With A Plan!” success systems can give you the templates to leave the comfort zone and enter the ‘winning zone.’
So you might be asking yourself, “What is the winning zone?” Take for example the highly successful, Warren Buffett. He says, “To invest successfully over a lifetime does not require a stratospheric IQ, unusual business insights, or inside information. What’s needed is a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and the ability to keep emotions from corroding that framework.” These “emotions” that corrode our framework are based in fear and hold us back from taking chances. All we need to be successful is sound intellectual framework, or simply a good plan. And that can be easily supplied by my system: ”Yes I Can With A Plan!”
Here are your action steps to help you overcome fear:
1. Remember that fear is only:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
It reminds me of when we watch a scary movie and then we have that erie feeling that someone or something is watching us – just waiting to get us. It’s all false – just our mind playing tricks.
2. Remind yourself it’s just your mind playing tricks.
3. Allow yourself to feel the fear and go through it anyway. Just like when you first started learning how to drive. Remember that very first driving lesson? I was terrified… especially learning to drive a stick-shift on a hill (I was so scared I couldn’t even talk – of course, there was a car behind me!) And now, we’re driving like pros. We don’t even think about it.
4. Breathe. Deep breaths… all the way down to the bottom of your belly. Allow your shoulders to drop. Relax your jaw and breathe.
5. Count backward out loud from 10 to 1. This is also a great trick for those who experience anxiety attacks.
6. Don’t over think it… just do it!
7. Reward yourself…. YOU DID IT… Wooohooo!!!
