Many would-be entrepreneurs never get ahead with their biz
plans or ideas because of the big Fear Factor! They'd really
like to make some project click,3 Positive Steps for Destroying Fear, Building Confidence & Big Profits! Articles but too many negative
thoughts and ideas hold them back. They worry about failure,
legal problems, family opposition, rejection and a myriad of
other possibilities. Here we will outline 3 things you can
do now to destroy fear and move on confidently toward
success!

1) Take Action!

Action actually cures fear. Once you get in the middle of a
project, you mind will start looking for ways to make your
plan work. Inaction, or doing nothing is fear's workshop.
Not doing anything will destroy your confidence and those
negative thoughts will dominate.

If a net biz is in your plans, take time to learn some new
things. You don't have to be an expert on tech issues
(experts are a dime a dozen and you can hire as many as you
need), but it does help to know something about it. A little
understanding on your part can relieve a LOT of stress and
doubt. Take time to do your homework.

2) Focus On The Positives!

We live in a negative world, so don't beat yourself up too
bad if you have fallen into the grove of doubtful thinking.
The good news is that you can get out of that rut! When it
comes to your biz plan, focus on the reasons why it can work
instead of why it won't. Whatever you focus on, that is what
you will come up with. It's funny how the mind works.

Since our business is teaching folks how to earn online
income, we did an exercise where we asked individuals if it
would be possible to take a homeless person from the street
and teach them how to make money online. The results of our
research are interesting!

The ones who were less successful said that it would not be
possible, that the person would not even have a PC to work
with, or an address to mail his checks to. They could think
of every negative reason in the world why our experiment
with a homeless person would not work.

On the other hand, the more successful folks (who have
earned income online) started to tell us all the reasons why
it could work. We could take the street person to the
library and teach them how to get online. They could set up
a Pay Pal account and have commissions deposited there. We
could help them set up a P.O. Box to get mail.

These were some of the same ideas that the less successful
folks came up with when we asked them "Well just imagine for
a moment that it could be done, how would you do it?" Then
positive answers came!

So get your mind reasoning on all the ways something will
work, and it will come up with many ideas for you. If you
focus on the negatives, it will paint a picture for you full
of reasons why your plan or biz won't work! Try it yourself.
Have some fun with it. Then focus on the positives for the
rest of your life!

3) Praise Others!

It is easy to tell everyone what they are doing wrong. Seems
like that is what most folks concentrate on these days. We
are all imperfect, and you would never run out of material.
However, try to encourage others by expressing thanks for
what they do right. It will go a long way toward forming
lasting relationships with people.

When something does not go right, don't be so quick to
complain. Here is an actual email we received from someone.
Keep in mind that this is the first time we had heard from
this person. What would be your thoughts on them as an
individual?

"tried to call at 7:30 CST, which is the same as 7:30 MDT
isn't it? Any way the line was dead. tried
3 times past 7:30 before and past MDT. Dead. carelessness
irresponsibiltiy is teh name of the
game. Screw somew over some how. hello arrogance"

(Misspellings and grammar mistakes as received)

Turns out that this person tried to call in on one of our
conference calls, but mistakenly thought that Mountain Time
was the same as Central time. No biggie, an easy mistake to
make. However, do you see how this accusatory and negative
email was going to benefit anyone? Would it make you want to
do business with them? We received several other emails from
them - all were negative. It's easy to see that this is a
miserable person who has a habit of tearing down others.

Don't let yourself fall into that pattern! Once you're stuck
in it, things can really get bad and ugly. Focus on praise
for things done right and you will win friends and influence
folks to do even more for you!

Many times the negative person as mentioned above will
complain because they don't understand something. Again,
take some time to learn. Once you learn new things, you life
will become even more exciting for you. You won't get
stagnant and defensive with every little thing that goes
wrong. In fact, fewer things will go wrong for you because
you have done your homework. You will still have to deal
with inactive negative people, the world is FULL of such
ones - But you won't be one of them!

So there you have it, the big 3 confidence and biz builders
- take action, stay positive, and praise others. Why not
start today?
