Overcome your Fear of Failure

Fear is the number one enemy of success, a matter of fact, it is the enemy of all. Fear has keeps many from success, it has kept many from turning the lights in their path, afraid they would bump into something. Well, here and there we appreciate some bumping in the dark.We mostly fear when we see someone fall, we only fear when certain path we want to go was already tested but the only failure was the result ...'There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.' Paulo Coelho

I myself still am fearful to put myself out there. In the beginning, I was excited to always posting live videos, but then I became very anxious because every time when I stand in front of the camera and seeing how many people were following my lives, all I wanted to say was gone out of my mind. But having kids who support me was helpful, we all want someone by our side who can support us, a friend, sister, spouse who is not a negative or toxic with your decision don't let others fears become your fear.It’s OK to be nervous.Now If Oprah had let her fear of failure wear her like a glove and stop her, from touching her mark she’ll have never been the successful and inspiring entrepreneur there had been.    “Whatever you fear most has no power - it is your fear that has the power. The thing itself cannot touch you. But if you allow your fear to seep into your mind and overtake your thoughts, it will rob you of your life.”  Oprah Winfrey 

Fear dictates the actions you take. fear causes us to freeze, meaning to leave reality and live a fantasy life due to fear of taking action. Some of us fear the real world and the demands this world bring along with it. so we freeze everything out of fear to live a lie. fight, sometimes fear paralyzed us from taking action to fight to make our vision a reality, which includes little things such as being required to film or do certain things in order to decisive customers etc. When we are overwhelmed by fear,  we may experience fright: meaning we neither fight or flee killing our dream fast...but if you want it so bad, you will not fear a thing.

Youtube or talking to your audience lives is one of the most powerful tool to get more subscribers and leads etc. however, If you are one of those who fears to be in front of a camera, you can do a voice memo where you only show what you are talking about or you can film yourself walking then switch to voice memo. Or when you are doing lives be around people that support you. I recommend if you are camera shy ask your friends if they can joy you on your live chat with your viewers. We tend to not be fearful or shy when we are surrounded by people with good vibes. Another trick to get rid of fear is ….Always practice what you are going to say to your viewers before going live….

Now If the fear of failure is what’s holding you back, from doing anything to fulfill your vision, I encourage you to change your definition or the norm of failure. I encourage you to change the norm of failure to YOUR DEFINITION of FAILURE, envision failures as learning opportunities on the way to success because it is we fear to fail so much that we fail to see the importance and value of failing.   Aren't we all fearfully?.we are fearful of the littlest things.
