Fear of Taking a Risk and How to Manage it

Light It Up Live > ***Tickets on Sale NOW*** Fear of taking a risk has stopped more dreams than failure ever could. For entrepreneurs, the fear can become especially convincing because there is rarely a guaranteed outcome. You can research the strategy, analyze the numbers, make the plan, and still reach the point where moving forward requires you to act without knowing exactly what will happen next.

That uncertainty is where many capable entrepreneurs begin to hesitate.

In this episode of the ProjectME with Tiffany Carter podcast, Tiffany explores the fear of taking risks in business and what is really happening when you find yourself repeatedly asking, "What if it doesn't work?" Whether you are thinking about starting a business, launching a new offer, investing money, becoming more visible online, changing direction, or making a decision that could significantly increase your income, fear can make staying where you are feel safer than moving toward what you actually want.

Fear of failure can show up as overthinking, perfectionism, procrastination, excessive preparation, and constantly searching for more information before making a decision. You may believe you are being careful or responsible when you are actually trying to create enough certainty to guarantee an outcome before you act.

Building a successful business requires making decisions without knowing exactly how every decision will turn out. The goal is not to eliminate fear before taking action. It is to develop the capacity to move while fear and uncertainty are still present.
