Conquer Your Fear
Fear is a natural occurrence when starting a business.
You fear that you will not make money.
You fear that you will not succeed.
You fear that people, friends, and family will make fun of you.
It is honestly the hardest thing to overcome but it is the most rewarding.
I recently told all my friends on my personal Instagram that I was starting this business venture and GUYS, it was life changing. I felt like I had to tell them because my new business profile was showing as a ‘person you may know’ so I felt like if I told everyone, they would think it was less weird.
I received so much positive feedback it has been a blessing and as a result, I have been more comfortable to create the type of content I want to without feeling embarrassed. I post with excitement instead of trying to hide my profile.
I must have filmed my Instagram story telling people at least twenty times. I just felt so awkward. So many people reached out and supported me that I really started to feel like I can actually make a business of this. It really wasn’t until that point that I felt I had a great idea.
What you can do to overcome your fears in business?
Completely accept who you are and what you are going after. Everything will stem from how you feel about this business idea. If you are head over heels in love with it, it will show, and people will buy into the passion.
Tell people! Ok, we jumped quickly to that one but it is so important to success. You don’t want to feel like you constantly have to hide what you are doing. You want your social media profiles to be found!
Create SMART Goals. Small goals that are achievable and well thought out will boost your confidence and keep your motivation running.
Focus on your WHY. I actually have a vision board that keeps me inspired and reminded of why I want to do this. Keep your passion alive.
