Overcoming Fears of:

To conclude the series, we’re sharing 5 ultimate truths that you may not want to hear but should accept.

1. The only way is through

We hope that the exercises from previous posts help alleviate your fears.

However, you may still feel some fear. And that’s okay.

You have to act despite the fear.

When I was just starting everything was scary.

Sending an email, posting online, creating an event, calling a client…

So I made this my screensaver 👇️ 

After doing the thing I feared once or twice the fear went away.

The only way, is through.

p.s. If you know who deserves credit for this image, pls lmk, I’d like to personally thank them.

2. If you don’t try, you automatically fail

Give yourself a chance by trying. 

3. Don’t let your fear be a thief

You want to create something great but fear is stopping you?

By not doing it you’re robbing people.

You’re robbing your customers, society, family and yourself. 

Don’t let your fear rob you of your dream.

4. Pain is temporary

Even the most extreme emotional pain will pass. 

Remember getting your heart broken for the first time? 

That sucked. A lot. 

Bet it felt like you’d never get over it. 

But you did. 

This too shall pass. 

5. It’s easier with others

When you’re at it alone, it can feel like you’re the only one who fails.

When you’re a part of a community, you see just how much other founders try and fail before creating something great.

Failure is a part of the journey.

It’s a refreshing shift in perspective.

This is why we created Founders Club - a supportive community for remarkable founders.
