Fear and Business
Fear can be either a powerful motivator or a giant cement weight around our necks, dragging us down and drowning our true potential. As business owners, we have big dreams of providing for our families and having the financial freedom to be our own boss. For some of us, that dream has become a reality but for others, fear stalks us like a silent shadow waiting for that time when we have to move our business yet again and start all over. Because of the lives we have chosen or the people we fell in love with, we are the modern nomads who move every 4 years. We are experts at relocating our families but when it comes to restarting a business, some of us feel at a total loss of how to regain a client base and forward market.
Say Goodbye to Fear
I once asked a well-known leader in the wedding industry what they thought I should do to gain momentum in my business since our family relocated every four years. Their response was incredibly hurtful and it hung like a cloud over my head for several days. He said, “Go be a second shooter because this is the life you have chosen and that is all you will ever be able to do”. Oh folks that got me FIRED UP because he wasn’t the first industry pro to tell me that. I made the decision then and there never to ask that question again because it was one based out of fear. Fear of not being good enough, smart enough, or business savvy enough to be successful in every new city I have moved to. Instead, I made a decision to do something about it and change the creative landscape for those few brave souls who aren’t going to let a little adventure like moving stand in the way of their dreams and success. Are you with me? Are YOU ready to say goodbye to fear? If you answered yes then it is time for you to start moving your business without fear of failure into the market you want to be in!
