Roadblock #2: Fear.

The first time you try something it’s scary.

As humans we fear the unknown. We fear failure...rejection...mistakes. These are either feelings that come naturally or have been pressed into us by society. 

How to avoid it?

It’s true. Surprisingly, anything is much easier the second time. And the third. And by the fourth time you can’t even feel the hair on the back of your neck, or the sweat in your palms because it’s no longer there. The terror goes away surprisingly quickly.

The interesting thing is that the more you taste this growth, the more you want it. It’s a rush, and it’s addictive.

It’s a huge confidence boost to look back at the things that scared you last month, last year, or even five years ago. And realize you conquered them.

This kind of success leads you to trust your instincts. It builds confidence. It eliminates pointless analysis that used to keep you spinning on decisions for hours, days or weeks.
