Step 1: Recognize It

Step 2: Set a Trigger
Step 1 - Recognize It
We all face fear - daily.
The difference between those who are admired and those who fade into the background is how you USE it and trust me when I say that using your fear instead of letting it cripple or control you, or even sit silently in the background is a conscious art that starts by recognizing your fear.

Fear Defined:
Fear is the butterflies in the pit of your stomach when you’ve got a great new opportunity. It’s the little voice in the back of your head that won’t stop talking about all the ways it can go wrong. It’s the freezing cold ice in your veins and the tight feeling in your chest. It's the little, almost uncontrollable reactions you have when you’re stepping into a new sales situation, a new job, or launching your new business.

The first step to making fear your ally is to recognize what it means.
Human beings have survived for centuries by avoiding scary stuff. We’re pre-programmed to avoid anything that induces fear, so our brain starts coming up with excuses immediately or we freeze. Why? Because it used to mean danger. More often than not, it now means that we’re about to experience some growth. The truth is, the only way you can grow is if you push yourself and challenge yourself! It’s often painful.

Most likely, you'll freeze. Recognize that in yourself and accept it. I’ve seen it hundreds of time. Business Owners who are gung-ho to work with me, until they realize that I hold people accountable to change (hint: it’s why I get results for my clients). In that moment, fear sets in: they freeze, and excuses begin.

If you want to turn fear into your ally, the first step is to recognize fear and what it means for your actions.
Step 2: Set a Trigger
If fear is something you can't truly control, how do you use it as your ally once you've recognized it?

Set a mental trigger – when you notice your symptoms of fear, recognize it and channel the energy your body is using to scare you into guiding you to action.

Some people act in spite of their fear. I encourage you to act BECAUSE of your fear. Your body is creating energy that is designed to paralyze you to keep you still or starts putting thoughts into your head with all the reasons you SHOULDN’T take action. Instead, use that energy to start moving. Use the thoughts flying at a million miles per hour to evaluate the opportunity and how to mitigate the risks that you are coming up with.
Allow that flurry of activity that happens in your body to drive you to produce great results for yourself.

You are worth it.
