Lesson 13: Fear is never the answer

This week the thing that hit me the most was the idea of fear and how much it dictates my life for the negative instead of positive. There was a quote shared that said "that “entrepreneurship takes a lot of determination and it takes some fear and a little bit of insanity. Don’t be afraid to be different.” In my own entrepreneurial journey fear, has been the one thing that I felt was holding me back the most in my journey. Fear of not doing something correctly, fear of what other people would think of me, fear of failing and so many other things. In the end though these same fears have done nothing but hold me back from the huge dreams I have in my life. Those huge dreams include me earning a free car and being able to quit my job because of residual income.

One of the main ways that this has manifested itself in my life is by me not wanting to stick out and be different then everyone else. I think that I have not wanted to put myself out there in such a way that I will be able to be judged and looked at too closely by others in fear of my flaws that they would see. The interesting thing is that I tell myself that I do not care what others think quite often in my life and in all reality I think I care more then I let myself believe. 

Well for me this stops today. I am going to do the things that bring me joy and happiness on my journey to my God sized goals because if I do not then I am not honoring my truth. For my this includes sharing what I truly think instead of keeping my mouth shut, sharing the love I have as often as I can, not being afraid to be who I really am and many other things. I know that as I make these changes to be different by being my true self then I will not only find success in my own life but happiness as well!

$100 Challenge: This week was great to wrap up sales for this semester for this class. It was a fantastic experience and because of it I would consider opening a fun bakery place at some point in the future like a something with both sweet and salty treats for people. I have learned I am great with making pies and I have thought about how much I love popcorn and how that could be a fun addition to a sweet and salty place.
