Part 5: Starting a Business Series (A Case Example)
A key part of succeeding in business is making the fear disappear. This is especially true if it’s your own business – and you’re just getting started.
When you’re in the early days, “learning mode” feels like mistake after mistake. Fear starts to take hold. You stop trying new things, even though it’s essential to a new business. It can feel paralyzing.
We all start out scared. But in order to be successful, you have to learn how to quiet the voice of fear in your head. It takes time, but when you eventually make the fear disappear, it puts you in a position of power. The result? You make better decisions, attract better customers, and produce better outcomes.
Episode 125 offers strategies for facing your fear head-on (even when you have every reason to be scared!). Listen here or in your favorite podcast player.

Show Notes
- “I wish that could give to you my fearlessness (when I’m not using it).” This is from a song I wrote explaining how Fear Is Just the Way We’re Wired.
- And just for “fun,” here’s another song I wrote about The Other Side of Fear.
