If fear wasn't in the way

I had the amazing Melissa Browne as a guest on one of my recent podcasts.

We talked about her business journey and all the amazing things she’s achieved since she’s become a self-proclaimed “accidental entrepreneur”.?

But of all the topics we covered in our conversation, it was something she said about fear that really stuck with me.

She told me that her watershed moment came when she asked herself a simple question:

What if fear wasn’t in the way?

I love that question!

Why?

Fear is one of the biggest barriers that anybody will face when trying to create a successful business.

It’s that little voice in the back of your head that tells you that you can’t do something…?

That you’re not enough…?

That you may as well stop trying!

And it’s because of fear that so many people who are full of potential never create the lives that they’ve always dreamed of.

Fear is insidious.

It convinces you to stay inside your comfort zone and steers you away from taking the action that may lead to you creating the life you want to lead.

So, I want you to do me a favour.

Close your eyes and envision. Ask yourself the same question that Mel asked… and more.?

If you didn’t feel fear…?

…What would your life look like?

…What would you be doing with your life?

…Would you be where you are right now? Or would you be doing something completely different?

…What would your business look like??

…How would your decision-making change??

If you could design the perfect life for yourself, with fear never being able to get in your way, what would it look like?

By asking all these questions, you begin to uncover what you really want out of life.

And hopefully, you’ll realise that the only thing that’s stopping you from getting what you want is the fear that’s trying to hold you back.

Don’t let fear stop you anymore.

Schedule your Call to Clarity with me today and we’ll work together to kick fear to the curb. Let’s start building the life (and business) that you’ve always dreamed of.

Speak soon,?
