Shy or Fearful?

shy-woman.jpgJenn Givler, (I’ve recently embraced Jenn in to my circle of friends) and I are having a conversation at the Holistic Business Networking forum about dropping the ball. I posed the question as to why we let it happen. Jenn commented that she has recently worked with some of her clients on that very subject - and quite often it comes down to fear.

I can relate to that. I have to admit there have been times its held me back.
All those what-ifs.

What if I start a Web site/blog/workshop/tele-seminar/newsletter and nobody shows up or signs up?

It’s not fear of the work involved in doing those things (well, maybe a little). The fear of failure can often times put us right there in the failure mode. Law of Attraction at its finest (or worst).

Taking steps and putting yourself out there is frightening - but it is so empowering when you do!

Check out Jenn’s article about promoting your Holistic Business and be sure to sign up for her newsletter.

And - get out there and show us your stuff!

Namaste ~ ~

    I didn’t realize you made me famous LOL! Thanks!

    I love how you said that putting yourself out there is so empowering. I’m in the process of writing a new e-book and I address this very thing.

    When we realize that we are in control - and when we take that control - it does HUGE things for our self-esteem.

    I offer this… what if you offer that teleseminar/blog/workshop/web site and no one shows up? You’ve got a choice - let it crush you… or… say something like “OK, yeah that stinks that no one showed up, but what was my part in this?” Look at the situation and see how you can change it so that it works in your favor from here on out.

    If no one shows up to your offerings, maybe they just missed the message, maybe the right people didn’t see it, maybe… there are a million possibilities.

    The only way you fail is if you give up… and even then you’re not failing - you’re just moving on to something else :)
