fear of failure Archives - Small Business Coach, Women Business Coaching - Client Attraction

Have you ever been hesitant to do something to grow your business because of a past mistake or failure?

This is so much more common than you realize.

Recently, one of our students who owns a successful practice – we’ll call her Jennifer – expressed concern about growing her business to the next big level.

After digging a little deeper, I found out that she’d taken her practice to a much bigger size years ago, but saw it crashing down around her not too long after.

Why did the business collapse after such a massive growth spurt? A lack of systems and management that is required for this kind of fast growth.

This left Jennifer deflated and worried that she didn’t have what it takes to run a successful practice.

And because of it, frankly, she was really hesitant to attempt scaling her business again…

…until I took her through a transformational process I call The Groundhog Day Process™.

I shot this video to show you how to use this process to turn any failure or past mistake into a golden opportunity:

Here’s the deal…

To have the confidence to get things going again, it’s important that we learn from our mistakes, every single one of them.

In fact, I believe that there are NO mistakes when you use this Groundhog Day Process.

You see, when things don’t go the way we planned, we typically concentrate on the bad things.

But as we got to talking, Jennifer realized that there were so many things that she had done right, and if she concentrated on those things going forward (and remembered the things that didn’t work so well), then her business would succeed this time around, the right way.

Curious about how it works? This week’s 6-minute video takes you through my method for regaining entrepreneurial confidence and creating breakthroughs out of old breakdowns.

It’s really powerful.

And once you watch the video, my question for you today is:

What situation do you wish you could “Groundhog Day”? What priceless lessons have you learned from past mistakes that you can share with us?

Please share this with me in the comments and let’s start a conversation about this! I can’t wait to read your comments below.

Let’s grow your business the right way this time around!

Sending you big squeezy love,
Fabienne

P.S. Do you know of an entrepreneur who feels gun-shy about growing their business because of not-so-great-results in the past? Send them this blog and spread the love, ok? Thank you for being YOU. 😉

fear-of-failureSometimes my clients tell me fear of failure is holding them back from getting started. They feel stuck or frozen around their business and battling this causes them to miss deadlines, and avoid decisions and standing up for what they want.

I want to share a fantastic book with you that changed the way I look at myself. It’s called The Self-Esteem Workbook by Glenn R. Schiraldi. In the first few chapters, you’ll learn that your accomplishments do not dictate your worth. Your worthiness cannot be touched. You are worthy from the moment you were born. You are valuable and nothing can ever touch that.

This is so helpful if one of your greatest fears is the fear of failure. You are just as worthy if you fail at business as if you succeed. If you make money or don’t, you are worthy.

We all have a life purpose and the only way we can achieve it is if we learn our life lesson. You can guess what my life lesson is because it takes one to know one right? This applies to self-value and self-worth especially around money. I’ve been working for a long time on this.

You could stop yourself from being your most glorious expression of your purpose here on earth. The fear of failure could stop you, or you could say, “Forget that. Let’s do it! I’m going to do this no matter what.”

If you don’t try, I guarantee you’re not going to succeed. In the Northeast, the Lottery tag line for a long time was, “You’ve got to be in it to win it.” So if you try, you actually have a chance. If you get out there despite those creepy, ugly fears, you have the opportunity to make something happen.

Think about it this way. If God were speaking to you about this, would God say, “You can’t do this”…not likely, right? So why would you listen to anyone but God, the Universe or your higher power? When you hear these fears come up in your mind, acknowledge them and then refute it. Say, “You are not God, the Universe or my higher power and I will not listen to you. Quiet down, because I know who to listen to.”

Successful people feel fear too. I feel fear all the time. It doesn’t go away, but I’ve realized it is the ego talking. It wants to keep you small so you stay safe because the ego focuses on survival. But you can’t share your gifts with the world if you stay small. You are worthy, you are valuable and you are needed, so get busy.

Your Client Attraction Assignment
If you are stuck due to the fear of failure, push yourself to wake up when you hear those negative inner thoughts. Stop for a moment to realize this is not in your best interest. Say to the negative voice, “You are not God, the Universe or my higher power and I will not listen to you. Quiet down, because I know who to listen to.” Then remind yourself that you are worthy, you are valuable and you are needed. You‘ll be surprised how remarkably empowering this one step really is.

Now, if you’re just starting out and trying to fill your practice in the FIRST place, then follow a step-by-step system that feels easy and authentic to you.
