Overcoming the Fear Factor

The word fear probably makes  majority of us cringe at the mention of it. Majority of us have faced it.  Somewhere in our lifetime, we have face it,  in our childhood,  as a teenager, adulthood. We either stood face to face to it, or ran from it. There are so many fear phobias of all types.  Most common ones are, fear of heights, closed areas, darkness, stage fright.  But, what about the business industry, what place does fear play in this area of our lives?


First , and foremost FEAR can hinder every aspect of your business, from  enabling you from achieving your goals In your business. You may wonder or ask Hows That? I shall give you some role playing how Fear can take form and shape as we work in different areas of a business.  FEAR is our enemy, we need to take every action possible to defeat it in its tracks and not give it an inch of our lives. If we do, what will happen we will feed on that fear and it will grow stronger and stronger In our lives having a big stronghold on us. If we don’t work at  overcoming this stronghold, it shall forever hinder our efforts and our business from prospering. Remember, boldness is the opposite of fear.


Lets take a look at someone excited about  starting a business. WE know that we need to make contact with individuals. Many people have hangups about meeting people. This is one of the most important aspects of businesss. Having a relationship with prospects you meet may mean a warm and long lasting future client for you. However, if we have a tendency to allow fear to disable us from having a personal contact with prospects, we are allowing  a big hindrance to the efforts of building our business.


Role Playing  audio video or video,  in planning o


A new business owner, sees a potential prospect, has a desire to meet him and become acquainted with him,  all at once his heart starts racing, his palms are sweaty , breathing harder, mild shaking feeling.  He approaches the man slower.


The man sees him coming,  the owner stops short of approaching him. The prospect stars , wondering what is wrong with this man. Finally, the owner states howdy, with a slow stammering voice, The prospect also states, “ hello,  The owner says “how are you , also with a  slow draw” The owner became so nervous he couldn’t think , almost like every word  he lost because of fear.  Without another word, the owner left, with the prospect thinking , wow that was some strange character.>


Now, lets take a look at what this owner could have done. Instead he probably walked away never again to take practice of gaining confidence of speaking,  determination, and boldness.
 “” 
FIRST AND FOREMOST:  NEVER GIVE UP 
SECOND: PRESS THRU DON’T STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING < DOES A RUNNER IN A RACE STOP BECAUSE HE FELL BEHIND OR FELL DOWN , NO HE FINISHES WHAT HE STARTED.  ANOTHER MISTAKE THIS OWNER DID WAS STOP WHAT HIS GOAL WAS TO DO. INSTEAD HE LEFT THIS PROSPECT THINKING HE WAS A STRANGE PERSON WITH HIS ACTIONS.




THIRD HE COULD HAVE DONE SOME PRACTICING MAYBE WITH A FRIEND TO HELP BUILD HIS CONFIDENCE .


PRIOR TO MEETING A PERSON, TAKE DEEP BREATHES AND THINK OF IT AS  A GOOD FRIEND YOU ARE MEETING, BESIDES HES A PERSON JUST LIKE YOU AND ME.


BECAUSE THIS OWNER FAIL TO DO ANY OF THE ABOVE, HE MISS OUT ON A POSSIBLE OUTSTANDING CLIENT, AND ALSO POSSIBIBILY OF HIM  TAKING THIS FORM OF MEETING CLIENTS ANY FURTHER. 


THE QUESTION IS WILL YOU!!!!


NOW, LETS TAKE A LOOK A LITTLE FURTHER IN  GETTING LEADS IN FORMS OF  BLOGS, VIDEOS, ADS.


This is a deep thing with a lot of us, Many of us may say I have no idea how to do a blog ,much less a video. Others may say, I have no skills in writing blogs, or writing ads, Im not good at it. Oh and the videos, that is  a big no no . No way you going to get me to speak on any video. Lets take a look at this. What is the strong points in this. Lets play out the scenario.




Wow, some new individuals just started in their new business, Jeff, that is great. How about telling them about the great way of  starting their own blog, maybe get some videos started later on , and writing ads. Yes that’s a good idea. 


Hey guys,  heres something that is very important for you all to be doing gradually. First you need to get a blog going regularly. it’s a great way to get leads, especially placing ads a s well, such as working in forums and etc. Soon, it would be good if you started doing videos as well. 
The ahs, started coming as , oh man, do we we really have to do that, Im not good at writing, anyways I have no idea. Im don’t want anyone see my writing., Im horrible. I just know they will laugh.


NO they wont, that’s just your imagination carrying away. Remember,practice makes perfect. You cant mean for me to be on a video, I look horrible , and gosh with my accent, I will sound like a  hyena,. And what about messing up , I never show my face again.. These individuals walked away , discouragment showed on their face, despair loomed above them , fear overshadowed them like never before.
HOW DO WE CONQUER THIS!


FIRST AND FOREMOST , PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT , EVERYONE OF US IMPROVE AT WHAT WE DO DAILY , BY PRACTICING IT ,REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS.


SECOND.  WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES , WHATEVER IT MAY BE, LAUGH AT IT AND GO ON FROM THERE, NEVER LET IT HOLD YOU DOWN


THIRD, IF YOU FEAR WRITING SO MUCH, TAKE A COURSE TO GIVE YOU A BOOST OF CONFIDENCE, YOU WILL BRING OUT YOUR OWN PERSONAL THOUGHTS.


FORTH, NEVER LET HANGSUPS ABOUT LOOKS, SPEECH, MESSING  UP SPEAKING  HOLD YOU BACK FROM FURTHER SUCCESS.




FIFTH , GET FEAR BY THE HORNS,TOSS IT TO THE GROUND , STOMP ON IT AND GO FORWARD AND BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE!!!

NEXT ROLE PLAY


WE all know to be successful, at times we need to invest in our business to go forward. But, there is a lot of people that thinks investing is definitely a no  way. Why , BECAUSE FEAR HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THEM , worrying that an investment , they will lose. Well, with that thinking you most certainly will. Why , be cause you didn’t high  enough  of your dream to invest in it. Therefore, you lost out  on becoming very successful because you let fear hammer into your thoughts your going to lose. 


Drama outplayed




Lets use two examples in this to illustrate this.


II am so excited to share with Jim a made up name  by the way. About this awesome fantasti business I am in, no way am I trying to make a sale, I just want to share my fabulous business with him. Tell your testimony,  I was just going at it sharing what Im making , what its about ,and my further plans.  Jim comes up and says, well that’s good for you. No way will I spend another dime, Im too scare of losing it. My money is too hard to get. 


Okay, now this may be true, there is a lot of scams out there, but wait a second, if you heard it from someone you knew really well, and you did your homework on the company. Would a very small investment in a  company be worth it? Think about it , would you let fear of investing a small amount hinder you?
Where is this man now , not moving anywhere, the same predicament , sad isn’t it


Next scenario


A man is growing his business, but he needs some improvement to precede further. He needs to invest in future growth. The problem hes afraid to invest  a little more. Hes so afraid of investing a little money that he wont pay for adverting any ,although he can,. He doesn’t update his sites to bring in more visitors or have any tech videos or special effects done.


Whats going to happen to his business, definitely not going to grow. Possible it will die


Why, BECAUSE HE ALLOWED FEAR FROM STOPPING HIM IN INVESTING.


Don’t allow fear to have any part of your business, invest, let your business prosper.


Remember, each of us has a dream, don’t let that dream just be a dream, in order for it to become alive, you must act on it. Don’t allow fear tell you, you cant do it. With effort and determination, you can achieve what  your believing for. But the moment you allow fear to take over, that dream will die. Keep it alive, go forth , pick yourself up if you fall, and your shall prosper forth.  To our success.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.George Herman "Babe" Ruth

to our success
