"Act in SPITE of Fear!"

11 replies
One of the main reasons a lot of people don't succeed, is because of one little thing holding them back from ever taking action, fear...

There's nothing wrong with having a fear of something... You just need to know how to deal with it... The first step is to acknowledge it...

Types of fears that internet marketers usually have are:

- Not being liked
- Not being right
- Fear of loss
- Not being as good as you 'think' you should be... (perfectionist)

Well I for one have been victim of the last one mentioned... I use to be a perfectionist, and never really got anything done...until I finally realized that "perfection does not exist"

I was recently at a millionaire mind intensive, which you all should go to by the way, and it opened my mind up to this fear I had, that I didn't really notice before... We did an exercise that I'll never forget, that just clicked for me...

From now on, "Act in SPITE of Fear!"

If you really think about it, and dig deep within yourself, you'll probably find a fear that has been holding you back from success... Or even taking action at all!

Become aware of it, and make a promise to yourself and to YOUR LOVED ONES that you will act in spite of your fear! (that is, if you are a TRUE warrior)

I hope I have inspired and empowered some of you to take one step closer to success!

Take control of your life!

    The worst thing about fear is that it can exist without any reason, only in our heads. And still it can hold us back from doing something...

    But if you think of it, you can fail even if you're not afraid, so presence or absence of fear doesn't prove anything at all. So, if there's nothing to hold you back except fear, there's no point in paying attention to it.

    Thanks for the post. Daryl is right. Not only IMers experience fear. We usually fear to fail and lose financially. But there are some people who fear other things like death, loneliness and such. It's far more disturbing than fear of losing cash.

    I think fear is one of the big reasons for procrastination. Once i get started on something, it isn't too bad, its just that initial push needed to start.

    I find that if I promise myself that I can quit any time I want to...as long as I devote 15 minutes of concentrated effort first, getting that initial start is easy and I never look back.

    Couldn't agree more. It always take enough courage to make a single step in achieving your goals.
