A NOtivational Quote

"I want to be in the arena. I want to be brave with my life. And when we make the choice to dare greatly, we sign up to get our asses kicked. We can choose courage or we can choose comfort, but we can’t have both. Not at the same time.”
- Brene Brown

Constantly Fearing You'll Fail?

by Andrea Waltz

What should you do if you are constantly fear failing?

You must make a choice.

Decide if the constant fear is something you can live with and if it’s worth experiencing for success.

A lot of people decide that they do not want to feel the fear. So, they play it safe. If you take this option, it doesn’t make you "less than." It just makes you a person who has made a choice not to go through pain and discomfort. But keep in mind, you may also lose out on the rewards of success.

If you did decide to go forward, I can assure you that a lot of your fear would subside.

People who are out playing the game of life, trying things, inventing things, starting things, and doing things just get used to being a little scared. Yet the longer you do something the better you get and the less you fear it.

I was terrified when I started speaking to groups. Now I get a little nervous if at all. That is due simply to growing confident through exposure.

Now... does all fear go away? Not entirely.

It's like being on an airplane with turbulence. It may make you nervous at first but after a while, you just let go and realize that it's going to be there all the time. You get used to it.

A final point about fearing failure. Ray Higdon, our co-author recently said, "you aren't scared of failing, you're scared of someone seeing you fail."

Could this be true for you? You must not live your life based on what other people think of you or your choices. That’s the real failure.

NOteworthy Recommendation

I apologize in advance, I'm about 48 hours behind on this but I still wanted to recommend to you.

Last January Richard and I went down to the Naples area to be guest speakers at an event being held by our friend Mark J. (The Laziest Networker in the World) and got to see him train for the day.

If you are in network marketing, his presentation training is some of the best. And right now he's got a selection of free training he is doing on presentations. (You will see the entire schedule on the page.)

If you struggle when it comes time to make a presentation or just want to see other ways to do it, and get better - check it out. He's super fun and real. Join in here.

NOteworthy Thought

Three keys to Go for No to Get a Yes:

1) Create a NO awareness.

2) Detach from the outcome.

3) Ask the question.
