Introduction:
If you found this article, it is more than likely because you have a fear of failing in your business. I know exactly how you feel, I was in the same mindset as you. You don't want to let your family down, you fear of not being able to pay your mortgage, not able to pay your car payment, etc. Fear of failure can make you feel emotionally paralyzed when are trying to build your business. I was on the verge of quitting my business, but after reading a lot of personal development books, I decided I was going to beat this fear, and make a success out of my business! In the rest of this post, I am going to share with you 7 Tips I used to beat the fear of failure. Are you ready to get started?
Tip 1: Be An Action Taker
Make a bold and decisive action. In other words, get off your butt and do it! If the action you take doesn't give you the results you desire, try something else. Sitting there doing nothing is not going to help you at all. Ask yourself this question, What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Try it out, very powerful question.
Tip 2: Be Persistent
Get in the mindset of you are never going to give up no matter what happens. Successful people fail more than they succeed in their business, but one of the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is they never give up. If you try something and it fails, go back to the drawing board and try something new.
Tip 3: Lighten Up On Yourself
Don't be so hard on yourself. If you fail at something, take it as a learning experience. Every action that you try write it down with the corresponding result. This way when you are planning a new course of action, you can review your notes, and make a new plan.
Tip 4: Be Yourself
The worst thing you can do is compare yourself to others in your industry. Use the things that make you unique to your advantage. Have confidence in your own abilities and stand out from the crowd.
Tip 5: Start Small
Don't try to accomplish all of your goals all at once. If you try to do everything all at once, you are going to get overwhelmed. and fear of failing will set in. Start with a small goals and this will help you build positive momentum in your business. Success breeds success, so if you can overcome and achieve some smaller goals, your confidence will grow, and your fear of failure will be gone. All of this momentum will help you build the bigger successes later.
Tip 6: Be Positive
Lastly and most importantly, always remain positive. As a business owner, you should always have a positive attitude, or at the very least, make everyone on the outside think you are positive. Learn to expect and deal with setbacks in your business. Even the most successful business owners, have rough patches in their business.
