This is a followup article regarding the subject of fear and how it negatively affects achieving life goals and in particular, the goal of developing a home business. In the previous article I suggested going through the process of discovering specific fears so that we can do something about them. In this article I am going to give you an overview of three major steps or areas that we're going to work with to finally conquer fear in your life if it is an issue for you. In future videos and articles I'm going to go through some of the areas I'm going to mention today in a little bit more detail.

This is a followup article regarding the subject of fear and how it negatively affects achieving life goals and in particular, the goal of developing a home business. In the previous article I suggested going through the process of discovering specific fears so that we can do something about them. In this article I am going to give you an overview of three major steps or areas that we're going to work with to finally conquer fear in your life if it is an issue for you. In future videos and articles I'm going to go through some of the areas I'm going to mention today in a little bit more detail.

The first step is to learn how to deal with the fear we are experiencing. Secondly, we must learn how not to feed on that fear, and finally,we need to learn how to provide information to our psyche by discovering the truth of our situation.

In the first step, dealing with our fear, the first thing we must do is to discover our fear and to admit that we have that fear. It is then important to find ways of decreasing the amount of fear, and I'm going to teach you some ways of doing that.

In the second step, which is learning how to avoid feeding the fear, I'll show you how to focus on other more positive areas of your life, and this will also help you to better pursue your goals.

Finally, in the "providing information" part, I'll go over one of the fears that is most paralyzing: the fear of death. For example, suppose someone has died and has come back to life, as many people have written about doing. That person no longer fears dying because he's seen what he was once afraid of--he's been on the other side; he now has new information. This strategy also pertains to developing a home business; many people are afraid to do a home business because they fear failure and rejection-- they haven't seen "the other side" so they guess at what it is like, and they fear it.

So as an example, let's say that if I could show you exactly how you could find all of the people you needed to be able to create a very successful home business without any rejection at all as part of the process, to find every organization or team you needed, and I could show you how to do that, and I could also show you how to have every tool you absolutely needed to have a successful business or program. And let's say that you knew in your heart that both of these things were true. I would bet that any fears that you have about starting a business would go away because you now had information. So the lack of knowledge is a major cause of disabling fear. So in future videos I am going to go into a lot of detail about how exactly to accomplish these two goals of being able to find all the people that you need for your organization to become a successful business without any rejection that you have to go through, and how to get all the tools you need to have a successful business. My expectation is that when you have this information you won't be afraid to do a business. You will be able to step out of your comfort zone.

So, when I'm talking about these things, I'm not talking about getting rid of all your fear; that's not possible. However courage is possible and there are very courageous people who have moved forward in spite of fear.

So to close this out, let's talk about courage, which is moving forward despite fear. We want to decrease the amount of fear as much as possible, but we can never completely remove it. Courage has been called "fear that has said its prayers". This is a good way of focusing on how to deal with our fear. But you still have to take action, and we'll talk about how to take steps that are both small and courageous to overcome fears after we've already taken the other steps I've spoken of. I hope that looking at fear this way has been a help to you and that you'll be able to use the information I'll be giving you in the future to get past it. I wish you well, God bless, and have a great day.
