Entrepreneurs – have no fear!

By admin

Fear of Failure

Fear of failure has been consistently the number one obstacle to people pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams worldwide for the past decade. (Source: Global Entrepreneurial Monitor.)

Have no fear – failure brings you closer to success, as long as you learn from the process.

So fail indeed as Samuel Beckett says fail better the next times around – your dreams and goals are waiting round the corner.

All the great inventors agree! Dyson, Edison, Google Guys and more. In my own career as a motivational speaker, you experience many failures as you walk the path – the idea is to learn from each and move closer to your dream.

Entrepreneurial Warning!

Warning! Fail better means you learn from your failure  – it doesn’t mean repeating the thinking that created the failure in the first instance. Failure should be the catalyst for new thinking, new strategy bringing you closer to success.

Repeating the failed thinking is the equivalent of entrepreneurial insanity – a place where you keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.

Cross the bridge from inaction to action and watch your fears dissipate and the journey ahead become clearer and clearer.

Remember fear is similar to any limiting belief is like a muscle – the more you use it, the stronger it gets; the less you use it, the more it atrophies and dies.

Entrepreneurial Focus:

Focus on the dream, feel the fear but take action anyway and enjoy the journey of magic and adventure.
