Living With Fear
| |
| “I’ve never been afraid to ask for money before, why am I so worried now?” Kate asked me. Kate and Mary were writing a business plan for a new elegant furniture store they planned to open. They had had a failed attempt to run a similar store in another state with several other partners. They told me they had learned a great deal from their failure. (“We got an MBA in retail in 6 months!”)

Transforming Fear
| |
| Perhaps you have heard that if you fear something “Feel the fear and do it anyway.” That advice can be helpful to a point, but it has one very significant drawback: The fear is still there.
So if you have a fear of cold calling, or a fear of failure, or a fear of success, or a fear of rejection, or – even more likely — some combination of all of these fears, summoning your personal power and acting in spite these fears is a brave thing to do, but as exhausting as running uphill with bricks in your pocket.

Revising the Forbes Message of the Day for the Sales Force
| |
| The Forbes Success Calendar for 2/25/09 said, "Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change - this is the rhythm of our living. Out of our overconfidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress." - Bruce Barton
I think this quote requires a serious revision - for the sales force and for the company.
First, let's make it shorter. |

Fear: Taming the enemy within
| |
| Every day I speak to managers, executives and sales personnel about what holds them back from achieving the success they want and earning the incomes they desire. Every day I hear the same thing: Fear. Fear of getting a no, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection and the list goes on. But fear has a structure and when you know the structure, you can make it disappear.

Successful People Face Their Fears and Act
| |
| Fear is the enemy of self confidence. Self confident people face their fears and act. Procrastination is the manifestation of fear. When you find yourself procrastinating, figure out what scares you about the situation. Is it fear of failure? Is it fear of success? Is it fear of rejection? Is it fear of being embarrassed? Is it fear of the unknown? Once you've figured out why you are afraid, do three things; admit your fear to yourself, embrace your fear, and take action. Action is the antidote to fear. In most cases, you'll choose wisely and your fears won't be realized. In the cases when you choose poorly, you'll find that failure isn't as catastrophic as you imagined. Successful people learn from their failures. |

How to Overcome Fears and Obstacles
| |
| While everyone has fears and obstacles, some people have a harder time overcoming their fears compared to others. This can prevent a great deal of personal growth, including job and career possibilities, finding more satisfying relationships, and even a better quality of life.
Living with too much fear is bound to give you less energy and more frustration. After awhile, fears can even feel bigger than life, leaving you little room to grow. Fear can cause you to fear paralyzed, incapable, and constantly frustrated. |
