Don’t Let Your Fears Keep You From Building Your Business
In networking with a lot of people, it’s amazing to learn there was a common thread in the beginning each of us shared.
It was fear.
Some people had such debilitating fear and doubt about every step of the business building process. They didn’t know if they should even bring their product or service to market. They were worried no one would want what they were selling. They worry about making enough money to pay the bills and take care of themselves or their family.
All rooted in fear.
You may have heard that fear is an acronym. For some it stands for “False evidence appearing real” for others it means “Finding excuses and reasons”.
Whether you focus on the positive or negative, fear can stop you dead in your tracks when it comes to building a business. So if you have an idea, but don’t know where to go to get your business off the ground, where can you do for help?
