Fear is the dragon that has crushed the most dreams. On the one side there are your dreams, the fear dragon on the other. You are the one to decide who must live, If you do not kill the fear dragon, it will kill your dreams. Choose wisely.

The major fears that impede individuals from realizing their business dreams are threefold:
(a)??? the fear of asking;
(b)?? The fear of making a fool out of themselves; ?and
(c)??? The fear of failure.
?
I shall now discuss and effective fear-specific tool to annihilate these dream crushers.

Overcoming the fear of asking:
Step 1: Make a list of 12 shops and stores in your area like your coffee shop, your local grocery store, barber, hardware store, canteen, quick serve restaurant that you frequent (NB: it should not be operated by a friend of yours);
Step 2: For each of these shops/ stores, identify an item on the menu / service that you would like to have / enjoy;
Step 3: divide them into three groups of 4 (Groups A, B and C;
Step 4: Over a week period, set aside any three days (they do not have to be in succession) where you will each day, have 2 hours for yourself (these are days 1, 2 and 3);

Step 5: Day 1, visit the shops / stores in group A; on day 2, visit the shops / stores in group B; and on day 3, visit the shops / stores in group C;
Step 6: On the designated day, visit each of the four shops / stores, requesting them a discount on the items (you have identified in step 2 above); the discount should be no less than 25% of the normal trading price.

The most difficult of the task, is to gather the courage to ask the discount at the first number of shops / stores. However, this is crucial, as this is the ice breaker that will open the door to realise your dreams.
Good luck, you have successfully crushed your fear for asking.
