EP 208 - What If I Fail? The Real Risk of Launching Your First Outside Income
That’s the question that stops most professionals before they even start.
What if I fail? What if I waste time? What if I lose money?
But here’s the reality: failure isn’t the enemy. Standing still is.
Every breakthrough I’ve seen—from my own career to my clients’ businesses—came on the other side of risk.
In this episode, I unpack the fear of failure, why it shows up when you start thinking about change, and how to flip it so you can actually move forward.
If you’re feeling stuck, chances are it’s not your boss, your company, or the economy holding you back—it’s fear. And you don’t have to let that be the end of the story.
