Each one of us has had to push through fear and doing something we were afraid of. The fear never ends, you just navigate different ways to work through it. How Rhiannon Helps Her Clients Overcome Fear Rhiannon uses her experience of fear to stop her from moving forward to help others. Fear can halt growth, but there are things you can do to overcome fear and move forward. It isn’t about you. No one really cares. Others are concerned with their own lives and aren’t focusing on you. Think of worst-case scenarios. Even worst-case scenarios aren’t that bad most of the time. Focus on your why. Why did you start your business? Why do you want to do that? Focus on that and it will get easier as you go on. When Trust is Broken, Fear Sets In A lack of trust sets fears in motion. It can be in personal or business relationships. Try to move forward no matter the situation that broke your trust and resulted in fear. It may take baby steps to start, but take the action no matter the size. Look at the Proof Chances are that the experience is one-off scenario. Take a look at the previous proof and recognize and focus on the positives which will help you continue to take steps forward. Why It is important to focus on the why, to come back to it, because your values are going to keep you stabilized in the action you take. Think about why what you do matters to others. They need you and what you have to offer. Flip the script and focus on the clients. Exercises to Overcome Fear, Self-Doubt, and Procrastination Work on identifying the fears. If you can’t name the fear, it will be very difficult to move forward. Flip the script. Find your why and focus on who you are serving. 4 Key Questions to Help You Overcome Fear or Negative Thoughts in General (Reference:  article in Oprah Magazine) Is it true: Do you know that someone is going to judge you? Can you know it absolutely knows it’s true? How do you react when someone does react negatively to something you do. How would you be without that thought? Ask yourself these questions and think logically about the answers to reframe the negative into positive. Listen to Episode 94 on Overcoming Procrastination to learn more about how to overcome these negative thoughts. Our thoughts create our results, so it’s super important to reframe the thoughts and take intentional positive action. Focus I struggle with focus especially when feeling overwhelmed, stressed, afraid, or get stuck in the cycle of these thoughts going through my head. This happens when we have a lot of goals. Take These Steps To Focus. Be cognizant of what your priorities are. Ask yourself, what is something that is going to move my business forward? What is going to make money in my business? Choose 3 things each day that you need to accomplish. Some people do better with choosing just one task, others do better with multiple tasks, but three is a reasonable number that both Rhiannon and I find achievable.  Once these three tasks are accomplished, can add more, but keep to the three first. Create time in your calendar for specific activities. Each day, there are certain tasks that you will accomplish. Robyn breaks out her to-do list by days of the week. Write things down and make lists. There is a connection between the brain and writing things down so creating lists can help with staying focused on tasks and accomplishing them. Journal around the things you don’t want to do. Write about why you don’t want to do them and convert the thoughts so that you can take action. Delegate the tasks you don’t want to do.  Work in your zone of genius and the things you enjoy that will move your business forward and outsource everything else. The reference for Zone of Genius is “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks. If you are growing your business, know that every single entrepreneur has felt fear when doing the hard things. Pushing past fear is what helps you grow. Know you aren’t alone. Sit with the fear and keep moving forward. When you do you and stay true to your authentic self, you will make the right decisions for your business and no one will care if you make a mistake. Just take imperfect action.
