Yesterday afternoon my gut was a churning whirlpool of anxiety.
I had some choppy waters to navigate with a client and the minute I got off our call -- BAM! -- my mind began to spin with worried thoughts.
I pushed through the fear and got done what needed to get done. But, talk about an unpleasant feeling.
Let me level with you:
Even though my business is growing and I’ve been working as a full-time freelancer for a couple of years now, I still deal with fear and anxiety.
It’s like riding a lion.
People see a dude riding a lion and they think, “Wow! He’s brave! He’s cool! He must have it all together to ride a lion!”
But the guy on the lion’s back is thinking, “How in the heck did I end up on a lion? And how do I keep from becoming dinner?”
Success looks easy enough from the outside.
But all the successful people I’ve had a chance to meet and speak with have told me a variation of the same thing:
“I was FREAKED OUT in the early days. But I got started and I kept going anyway.”
So...
How do you manage the fear and anxiety that is as much a part of the entrepreneurial journey as pumpkin pie is a part of Thanksgiving?
How do you turn your fear into fuel so you FINALLY stop hesitating, hedging, hemming and hawing, holding yourself back, and…
- Get your first client
- Reach out to the biggest clients in your industry
- Launch a new product
- Scale your business
- Ask for (and receive) higher fees
That’s just one of the things you’ll discover in the most recent episode of Just Add Hustle.
