More People Fear This Than Death…

Yes, the one thing most people fear more than death is public speaking and recently a client admitted she was right there too.

She felt like she should be speaking, she thought it might even help her grow her business, and she had requests from other people in the industry to do a webinar on her topic.  Fear was stopping her…

Now, let me be the first one to say we all need to get rid of our “shoulds” – you know, I should do this and I should do that. The only thing or things you should do are things that YOU decide to do to move your business and your life forward, to get you closer to your vision or mission and that make you feel good about your place in the world.

You don’t have to do anything in particular to have a successful business. If you don’t want to run live events, then don’t. If you don’t want to coach and mentor people then don’t offer coaching and masterminds. Whatever doesn’t fit for you, don’t do it. And, never allow somebody to make you feel bad for your choices and what’s right for you in your business.

You doing, or not doing something, should never be about somebody else’s priorities or influences.

Also, never let fear be the reason you don’t do something.

We all have fear – every one of us.  One of the reasons we have fear is we let self-doubt take over and rule our minds. We don’t think we know enough; or we think somebody will ask us a question we won’t know the answer to. I could go on and on about all the ways we question ourselves and convince ourselves not to do things.

Turn those doubting voices in your head off. I say it all the time, if you know 10% more than somebody else, you’re an expert in their eyes. Or as somebody else recently said to me, to the 3^rd grader, the 4^th grader is a genius.

And, sometimes you just have to borrow confidence from somebody else in order to advance and move forward.

I’m here for you if you need to borrow some of mine, or if I can help you develop your confidence more…I just had a client tell me I was really good at making her feel confident, and she had just attended the “Implementation Coaching Event™.” The next one is in Atlanta, Georgia, June 11 & 12th!

Prosperity & Abundance to You –
