The Fearless Leader

Everyone feels fear at some time or another. Successful small business leaders will feel fear but they will not allow those fears to paralyze them. Instead, they find ways to move forward despite those fears. The trick is to "know thy fears".

Fearless leaders know they have fears, they know what they are and work hard to shift the thinking that strengthens or supports them. Fearful leaders on the other hand allow those fear to take root and take control over their lives.

So don't be insecure to share your fears, be open and honest with yourself about your fears and be open and honest with others. Discussing your fears will only help to diminish the power and control they have over you and over your life.

Remember that it is natural to feel fear but if you learn to recognize your fears and be honest about them this will allow you to control your thoughts and reactions and have some level of control over your fears and over your results.
