"We're all scared.Yes, all of us. I'm afraid every day. If I'm not afraid, I must not be doing something I need to be doing. I believe that when you're doing important work, you feel fear because you don't want to fail. The challenge is to not let the fear stop you from doing the work that will enable you to achieve your goals. You need to recognize the fear for what it is and allow your "why (your compelling vision) for what you're doing be bigger than the fear itself.So where do you start? Identify your fears. As they say, "name it to tame it." Then, move forward."
