Overcome Your Fear Of Big Business Risks

We all have fears we need to overcome and a significant one is when it comes to taking big business risks.

Keep your eye on the open field in business

When we think about taking big risks, many of us find it easier to imagine how it can all go wrong rather than how it can go right. I’ve observed that my clients often making decisions based on their fears and, later, are not surprised when they fail. I want you to flip your thinking and visualize success. Every day.

My oldest daughter is a skydiver. I was talking to her about some of my clients’ constant negative thoughts and she said, “That thinking is called Object or Target Fixation.” All new skydivers take a First Jump Course where they learn that a jumpers’ biggest concern happens to be, obviously, landing! Landing equals success in skydiving language. In order to succeed, a skydiver must focus on achieving a successful landing, i.e. landing on a clear patch of grass. Easy right? Not so much.

New skydivers, in their effort to not fail, may actually practice negative Target Fixation. Target Fixation happens when the skydiver focuses on what NOT to hit. The jumper wants to land on an area of grass that is surrounded by several trees. Her instinct is to keep her eyes on the trees to avoid them. In reality, her body and her parachute follows the direction of her eyes and she ends up in a tree. So when the skydiver takes a First Jump Course, she learns, over and over, DO NOT look at the trees! Learning to control her Target Fixation will save her life.

You must shift your Target Fixation in your own business
