FEAR of FAILURE

Starting a new business is definitely filled with unexpected challenges. Some more surprising than others. I think most people dream of working for the themselves but most never do. Why?

There are plenty of "reasons" but most simply boil down to fear. For the most part we are afraid of failing. Fear and failure do go hand in hand. We let fear prevent us from ever taking a chance on ourselves.

We make a choice to have motivation provided to us rather than taking a chance and trying to truly motivate ourselves. We would rather be motivated by our bosses, our schedule and our co-workers. This is not something new this is what we have always experienced. It was how we were conditioned from childhood. Don't think so ? Reflect a little and I think you will.

I started a home based business under ideal circumstances and it has still been scary for me. My biggest fear is not being able to recondition myself to being able to supply the motivation needed for it to be a success. The motivation of putting in the hours, doing the mundane. Why is it I have always done these tasks before for others without issue but now it is ?

CHANGE!!!! That's the reason ,that's what I attribute it to. Talking about change is familiar for some it's a hobby. "I am going to go on a diet", "I am not going to lose control of my emotions", "I am going to be a better this or better that". Talking about change doesn't scare anyone, it's easy. Actually making a change no matter how positive it is scares the hell out of everyone, let alone when their is risk involved.

The best thing about working from home is the people you encounter that have overcome some of these fears. The support in this community is incredible and although I am in business for myself I am not alone.

Fear of failure will always be there just don't let that fear cripple you from trying.
