Fear As A Measure To Determine If You Are Headed In The Right Direction

Reina Lombardi • September 7, 2022

Use FEAR as a measure to determine if you are headed in the right direction in your business. 

Use FEAR as a measure to determine if you are headed in the right direction in your business. 

Wait what? 

Yup. You heard me right. FEAR can be a helpful way of assessing if you are advancing your business. 

Whenever we do something new or make an offer we have been creating visible to the public, it tends to poke FEAR into action. 

FEAR is just there telling us all kinds of lies about not taking action in an attempt to keep us safe. To keep us comfortable. To keep us in the familiar.To keep us playing small. 

If you feel scared and are having thoughts of giving up, throwing in the towel, or walking away - IMPLEMENT OPPOSITE ACTION! You are ACTUALLY on the path of GROWTH. 

I have felt DEEPLY INTENSELY AFRAID often as a business owner. 

When I opened my practice.

When I added a therapist.

When I signed a Lease for a 1500+ sqft unit at a time I didn't have enough clients to fill. 

When I stopped taking insurance.

When I started offering Supervision.

When I started offering CE training through my practice.

When I started this consultation business and Podcast.

EVERY SINGLE NEW THING.

I thank FEAR for showing me the way. I feel it and do it anyway. 

And, I have never ever regretted doing those things even though fear was telling me all kinds of ridiculous reasons not to do a single one! 

Let FEAR be your guide and watch what amazing things you are able to achieve and create in your business
