#656: How To Normalize Fear & Allow It To Propel You Into Action


Listen Later

Confronting the root of your fears and making unapologetic business decisions.


Recently, one of my consultants gave me a massive wake-up call by telling me that I'm making all my decisions from a place of fear. Well, no one wants to hear that! At first, this was really hard for me to take in, and to be honest, I felt a lot of shame. But then I realized he gave me this feedback so I could work through it and be the best version of myself possible! Which is, of course, exactly what I want for you! 

Now, my sweet friend, fear is one of the most challenging emotions to overcome, especially when you're faced with making big decisions for your business. Will this hurt someone's feelings? Is this going to affect my revenue? Am I going to look foolish in front of my team? But I want you to remember that it's always better to make a million wrong decisions and learn from them than to sit on the sidelines and never take action!  

Trust me – I'm right there with you in my journey towards having complete confidence in my business decisions. So, in this episode, I share some strategies that have helped me understand the root of my fear, adjust my mindset, and make those brave unapologetic decisions


Today, you’ll hear about: 

  • 2:02: A key question to ask yourself when you get self-critical or feel shame 
  • 5:26: Advice for unlearning the negative stories we tell ourselves 
  • 7:33: How to identify and get to the root of your fear-based decision-making
  • 9:19: Why every emotion you feel is completely normal and can be worked on 
  • 13:16: Tips for embracing the discomfort and seeing your best results yet!

  • Listen in if you've been making decisions based on fear, and give yourself permission to move forward, even if you don't have all the answers!
