Overcoming and conquering fear is something I have studied intensely because of my mentoring and training of CEOs and entrepreneurs in helping them to reach and realize their inner potential and achieve their big ideas.
As a special treat for you on this topic, I am going to give you the strategies I wrote about in The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster book which outlines how to face down fear and gives you the six brain hacks you need to conquer the fears that right now might be holding you back from the success, the lifestyle you could achieve and the life you were meant to live.
This is pulled right from the audiobook version of The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster—Why NOW is the time to #JoinTheRide.
1. Get real. Separate fantasy from reality.
2. Fear is only an illusion, and it’s all in the anticipation, not in the function.
3. 20 seconds is all it takes. Feel the fear, shut your brain off and step in and do the thing you fear. Then, of course, you can still be a coward 99.98% of the time and still crush it, so it’s all good.
4. Focus on the task ONLY. Give no mind or attention to the outcome.
5. Habituate yourself. This is the best approach of all.
Just do the thing you fear, over and over in great volume for a sustained period of time, and it will lose it’s power over you. What you once feared will become your unique advantages and strengths as everyone else will still be afraid and avoiding those things.
6. Turn fear into fun by pursuing it and celebrating it.
The only thing stopping you from realizing your God-given talents and capabilities is fear. Turn fear into fun and you will open the floodgates of your potential. Nothing, and I mean nothing will be able to stop you then.

I learned so much from the Entrepreneur Rollercoaster. especially about facing down your fear. "it's the fear of fear you fear. The fear itself hurts more than the thing you are scared of." #JoinTheRide
