"It all boils down to this: When fear shows up and threatens your curiosity and enlightenment look it square in the eye, acknowledge it, own it, and move on. Don't let it hold you back from greatness. The greatest thing to fear about fear is the inaction that often accompanies it. And that is perhaps the greatest danger to the evolution of your business"- Amy Cosper
I often like to read the thoughts an editor has about why they created a particular issue. Recently while reading the November 2012 issue of Entrepreneur I read this passage.
She end the editor's message by recalling the words of Dale Carnegie
Putting these two ideas together give us the formula for dealing with fear:
1. Look it square in the eye (see it)
2. Acknowledge it (recognize it)
3. Own it (believe that you will conquer it)
4. Gather confidence and courage (look inside yourself)
5. Move on (start moving towards it)
6. Go out and get busy (keep fighting it)
Today's question is:
"What would you add or remove from the fear conquering formula?"
