As human beings, we are all susceptible to fear, but the way each person handles their own fears is of utmost importance. In our business world, the fear of failing is always real and present in any deal you get involved it. That’s OK. What however is not OK is allowing your fear to paralyze you and prevent you from taking positive actions in the best interest of your business. Such fears stunt growth and progress and at times, ultimate failure which you feared all along. It is OK to lose some and to win some. The moment you allow the fear of losing overcome the excitement of winning, you will lose no doubt. Winning and losing are always two outcomes to expect in any business deal. When out of fear you are fixated on losing, your chances of winning become very slim if not lost outright.
Take my advice. Always find ways to suppress the fear of losing. Don't dissipate valuable energy trying to cover up losses. Remember that you can lose some and win some and life goes on. If you lose, the best thing to do is to learn from your loss then move on to the next challenge. Looking back, if you learned something from your past losses, you haven’t really lost. That is why it's OK to lose sometimes provided you learn something as a result. There is always some sadness in losing and some commensurate excitement when you win. Finding ways not to allow your fear of losing to overwhelm your excitement of winning is what guarantees positive advancement in any venture you chose for yourself.
Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”
