Today I want to talk with you about being fearless vs. being brave. I’m sharing why fear is a necessary feeling, even though it can be an issue we struggle with. It’s often about how we think about fear and deal with it from there. When setting our goals and looking forward, we need to live bravely and overcome fear so those goals can become reality.
Fear… we’ve all had to face that feeling of uncertainty and insecurity throughout our lives. But I’m talking with you today about how we can understand fear, deal with it and then use it as a motivational tool to propel us toward that goal or dream we want most. When you’re aware of which type of fear you’re experiencing, and the steps to take next, you’ll be able to achieve great things.

This season is about big goals, so I want to share quick story of how I accomplished a big dream myself. In October of 2013, I had lost all the passion and drive for my business. While it put food on the table and a roof over our family’s head, the business wasn’t fulfilling. I didn’t let that get in the way and, in fact, let it inspire me to open up my dream business. I hope this mini-episode is a reminder of where many of us have been (or may currently be) and instill a bit of motivation that you can always start again.
Today we start season 4, and I’m discussing BIG Goals & Dreams. Your dreams and goals can bring feelings of motivation and excitement, along with thoughts of fear and failure.I’ll guide you through the questions you should ask yourself before and during your journey toward whatever it is you want most. Learn why your mindset is a powerful tool when shifting your path and plans toward your big dream.
