Although they’re often unfounded, many of us have fears in different areas of our life, including our professional and business lives.

It’s completely natural to have fears in business, because starting and running a business involves uncertainty, big challenges, risk and having to make important decisions that have consequences. People running their own business often experience feelings of doubt, anxiety and fear, whether of making bad decisions, losing money, not being up to the challenge or ultimately not being able to run a successful business.

But you cannot allow anxiety to hold you back and there are many ways to overcome your fears. In this episode we speak to applied behavioural neuroscientist and leadership psychologist, Dr Lynda Shaw, who specialises in this area.
