Most entrepreneurs are waiting for the wrong thing, they're waiting to feel ready before they take the next step. In Episode 1 of The Fear Forward CEO, Tonya Gossage tackles the myth that's costing more entrepreneurs more than almost anything else: the belief that confidence comes first.

It doesn't. Confidence is a residue. It's what's left over after you do the hard thing.

Tonya shares the story of a 19-year-old customer service rep and switchboard operator with no college degree, a commitment card from her manager, and goals she was terrified she'd never reach. She didn't feel ready. She felt afraid. She moved anyway. Thirty-four years later, she left that company as Director and Executive Vice President.

In this episode, you'll learn the five principles of fearing forward:

1. Fear is a signal, not a stop sign

2. Growth and comfort cannot coexist

3. Confidence is a residue, not a starting point

4. Certainty is not required to lead

5. Ready is a decision, not a feeling

If you've been waiting for the right moment to make the next move in your business, this episode is your invitation to stop waiting.
