Overcoming Fear of Failure Leads to Success

I wish I knew this sooner 👇 The more I learn and talk to creators, the more I realize that business is just a reflection of inner confidence. The people who are willing to risk looking really dumb are the ones that create the “I can’t believe you do that for a job” type opportunities. The reason most people don’t though, is because they overthink it. Most people aren’t willing to talk to business owners in person Most people aren’t willing to pay out of pocket to get a connection Most people aren’t willing to feel like a failure for a little so that they can win long term. It has very little to do with skills and a whole lot to do with self confidence. I remember my first few sales meetings feeling like an absolute fraud. I would get on the call with no real plan just hoping I could convince them to pay me. So it’s no shocker that I went 0-27 on my first 27 sales calls 😭 But the thing is most people won’t even go 0-3 before they give up and quit let alone 0-27 They aren’t willing to feel like a failure so that they can learn and actually live their dreams. Instead they want short term satisfaction of “feeling” like they won without actually winning. They’ll let companies take advantage of their skills and give them the world for free so they can flex on IG and feel good about themselves, but deep down they know this isn’t what winning looks like. Trust me I know cause I lived that life. And settling for less than you know you’re capable of is almost worse than getting denied. But it took me way too long to realize that avoiding the feeling of failure was the ONLY thing keeping me from truly winning. I was avoiding rejection and it prevented me from even asking. I was avoiding rejection and it made me take bad deals I was avoiding rejection and I almost went out of business But the only way to get over the fear of rejection is to face it head on, take it on the nose, and keep going anyway. And ultimately that’s why less talented people are getting the dream gigs you want! Be blessed and stay stoked 😎🤙
