Is Your Fear In The Way Of Your Business Success?

What if the only thing blocking your business success, right now is you? The fears, the negativity, the doubt…Are they standing in the way of achieving your ultimate goals and visions?

Stop for a moment and imagine your life with no fear...What would you be doing right now? Where would your business be? How would you be communicating yourself?

Look at your energy levels and notice the vitality and freedom you have with no fear; notice how everything is easy, effortless and flows magically. Notice how your clients respond to your empowering energy and feel inspired. You are filled with enthusiasm and passion and make awesome decisions.

As a self empowerment coach, I am passionate about helping my clients bash through their fear and unleash their full potential- I do believe this place exists in all of us when we let go of our fear and allow ourselves to succeed.

So my question to you is…WHO WOULD YOU BE IF YOU DID NOT FEEL FEAR RIGHT NOW?

Before we dissolve fear we must first look at what is behind our fear, what is at the core.

Within all of us there are 3 core fears- I’m not loved, I’m not good enough, and I’m not worthy. And although these 3 beliefs motivate us to succeed what we are doing subconsciously is trying to prove those beliefs to be wrong, ultimately leading to self sabotage. We may reach a certain level of success and then that voice creeps in, that irritating, debilitating chatter that takes control and says:

• "Can I do this?"
• "Do I deserve this?"
• "Am I good enough for this?" and it goes on and on, endlessly blocking your energy.

When we realize that our inner voice is based on a fear we created in childhood we realize that fear is only an illusion based on a perception we attached to an event.

For example, imagine the kid at school who is picked on and is never chosen to be on a team- their belief system begins to create doubt; instead of focusing on their strengths they focus on everything they are not- the bad stuff always seems to speak louder than the good.

We end up dedicating ourselves to PROVING we fit in, proving we belong, proving we are good enough, worthy and loved. Eventually that cycle of "proving ourselves" wares out our nervous systems and our poor adrenal system and so we lose energy and mental focus.

Another key point is to realize that the voice of self doubt is not even your own voice but the voice of significant others you chose to listen to and believe - what you absorbed was their own fear because in your own voice there is the voice of self belief, with absolute confidence, clarity and certainty that you are the perfect person to do what you do. So we shadow other people’s fear, which then becomes our dark side.

Here are 5 easy steps to dissolving your inner demon and bash through your fear:

1. Get clear what is at the core of your fear and notice what behaviors and thoughts you have which are driven by this fear.

2. Create a clear picture of who you are with no fear. This is your ideal self and we must have a clear picture of the person we want to be so we know what we are working towards.

3. Define your core values - these are the positive emotions you want to feel every day for example trust courage, belief, strength, wisdom. These values represent the opposite of your fear mindset- they represent your true self- your full potential.

4. Turn all negative language into positive empowering language – be your own coach- be your own biggest fan. Every time that voice of doubt and negativity pops up re frame and shift the thoughts- break the cycle of negative thinking. Have a list of positive affirmations to replace the doubt.

5. Stop the need to prove yourself and define a clear powerful PURPOSE which ultimately not only motivates you but inspires you. You must be very clear on your WHY, your intention, your compelling reason for doing what you do. When you find that compelling reason for doing what you do, your energy is endless and you reach a space where your PURPOSE speaks louder than your fear.

Most importantly you come back to having fun because it is psychologically impossible to have fear and fun at the same time. As the saying goes, "when you love what you do you will never have to work a day in your life."

Most importantly remember that true success is not for CHICKEN SH*TS- success and true personal happiness takes Courage so GO FOR IT!
