Law of Success: Don't Let Fear Drive Your Decisions

By: Cheryl A. Clausen.

When you held a job there was always someone else you could either blame or count on to bail you out, but now that you own your own business there's no one but you. Sometimes it may feel like the world is crumbling around you and that failure is one heartbeat away and you have no one else you can count on. When you have these thoughts realize you're trapped in the grips of fear and your fear will keep you from success.

In most cases your fear is based on pure emotion. You're allowing ancillary information to feed your fear. You aren't focusing on the facts surrounding your fear. You may have the information that you don't have enough money in your checking account to pay your current bills.

Current available information may be that your projected revenues will not provide enough money to pay those bills. You may have the information that you lack the ability to obtain a credit extension. Yet rather than being overcome with fear you need to focus on the underlying facts rather than the information. The facts may be: you don't know how to market yourself, you don't know how to sell, you don't have a budget, etc. Focus on the facts about your situation not the information.

The biggest fear of every business owner is running out of money. When you run out of money you're out of business. It's not like you don't have a right to be highly emotional, but panicking won't help. Panic keeps you from taking the very actions you need to take to turn things around.

You can't find the right solution when your focused on everything you can't do. To find a viable solution you need to focus on the things you can do. Once you identify your solution you have to take action. Let go of your scarcity mentality. You may understand that you need help to get the results you want, but you think you can't afford to get the help you need. You can't afford not to get the help you need because if you don't get that help you may not have enough time to figure things out yourself through trial and error. And each day you wait you're losing valuable time.

There will be times when you will have to make decisions and take actions based on your belief in yourself and what you're doing and your burning desire to succeed. Your business exists for a purpose and there's a logical reason your business will succeed.

When you started out you were confident in your business and your potential for success. Otherwise you wouldn't have put your blood, sweat, and tears into your business. When you base your decisions on the facts and take the actions you need to take to make it work you can only lose if you decide to quit. Even though you may not have the money to do what you need to do, and you may not be eligible for a loan, but there are always ways to get more money so you can get what you need if you're just creative enough.

Use your creativity and imagination to discover a way to get what you need. As long as you focus your thoughts and energies on fear you aren't focused on actions. Fearful thoughts divert your attention from where it needs to be. Instead, focus your thoughts and energies on developing a plan for taking the actions you need to take to succeed. Get focused on the right actions and get your focus off fear, and on the actions that will help you to succeed.
