FEAR Plus or Minus

In business, fear comes into play many times and it needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later. But all fear is not bad and may make you rethink a decision or an investment. Negative fear will also hold you back from getting closer to the goals you have set for yourself and business. It can stop you from reaching outside of your comfort zones where the real opportunities are waiting. Fear can make you procrastinate about a decision that you already know has a good chance of working. But what if it fails? Yes that can happen and has happened to all of us on our road to success. Once a solid decision is made, move forward aggressivelly and don't worry about failure because it may never happen.

Positive fear can make you do more research, analysis and study before you make a big decision. It can calculate the possibility of success with what you want to do and whether you should do it now. It will never be a 100% sure win answer but positive fear will give you the confidence to move forward. Once you have made that decision don't look back and give all your effort to that decision succeeding. Fear gives you the chance to make the correct decisions and then moves aside so you can accomplish the task at hand. Don't be afraid of either fear, just use it to your advantage in business and in life.
