MLM Success can be greatly deterred by how you allow fear to control your thoughts and actions. Are you letting fear stop you?

Is your dream out of the realm of the typical, average world? To achieve your dream, you have to be atypical: You have to be willing to be different than the rest of the people you associate with. This far-reaching dream of yours will require moving out of your comfort zone. Are you willing to do that? You must move out of your comfort zone, even though you feel the fear of failure at times, and work through that fear until you come out on the other side.

Of course, having a short-cut and being able to avoid the fear would be great! But there is no way to bypass it. You must go through the fear, and by doing this you will grow as a person and as an entrepreneur. The fear of public speaking is common. This fear can also be overcome with enough practice and courage. Imagine going on stage for the very first time. This can be very frightening for some people. But if those same people were giving their 100th public speech that fear would most likely be subdued by that point.

When you feel paralyzed by fear, make sure you work through that fear with action. Sometimes fear can paralyze a person and stop them in their tracks. They may think that it is better to avoid feeling that fear than to possibly fail. When you have that thought, you are at the crossroads: the crossroads of your possible success or your definite failure. Which path will you choose?

Fear of rejection can hinder your business endeavors. When you fear the rejection of others, you are focusing too much on what other people think of you. Many questions pop into your mind when you have this fear:

What will they think of me?

What if they think I will fail?

What if they think I’m doing the wrong thing?

What if they don’t like me?

That’s just a sampling of the many phrases that go through your mind if you fear rejection or criticism. You must ask yourself why you are letting the opinion of others trump the way you see yourself. The way you see yourself is more important than how others see you. You need to have tunnel vision in this respect.

To combat this fear of rejection you should build your own self-confidence. Write out a plan to reach a higher level of confidence in yourself. You need to be proud of who you are—this will put a buffer against that fear of rejection.

Fear can come in many forms, but when we identify it we can work on it. Don’t run from your dreams. Stand up for them and work through the fear. Eventually you will achieve success.

Yours in Success,

    Hey David, I really enjoyed reading this post. I could relate to all of it and i'm sure many others will as well.
  • Hi David,
    fear of rejection and failure is one aspect, fear of success is another. A lot of people that are afraid of failure don't realise that they're also afraid of success, of not belonging to the crowd any more, of being above average. You shed some light on an important subject.
    Take care
