How do you become fearless?
The question of how to become fearless was posed on one of the social media discussion boards. It spoke to me because early in my entrepreneurial startup, I was very concerned about many aspects of business development with which I was not familiar. So much needed to be learned and implemented that it was downright scary or you could say almost frightening. I related well to the question and read everyone’s answer.
Collectively, everyone agrees that when you conduct your business as helping and serving others, you will succeed in attracting more prospects, clients and sales. I wish to note that being fearless also applies to planning your career and interviewing for jobs much advanced over your current skill level. I was moved to add to the discussion:
“Enjoying what you are doing and seeing that you are in fact helping others builds your own confidence. Once you have the confidence, it’s easy to take on projects you never before visualized yourself doing. Now the fun part becomes, ‘What else deep down do I truly wish to tackle?’ Answering this question removes the fear and enables you to go for the gold!”
One other suggestion is to create a wish list of what you truly would like to do next. Consider the downside to each (learning curve and implementation) and then re-prioritize in terms of ease for getting it done. Do the easier projects first and then climb the ladder of the more difficult. The underlying marketing-communication message becomes you are the go-to person thereby attracting even more business. You soon enjoy the leadership position and find fear long gone!
From this point forward you enjoy a very Smooth Sale!
