For me, the indication whether to decide to start a business is dependent on your willingness to take action.
The hard truth, there is always an inevitable feeling of unreadiness whenever we plan to undertake a seriously new and fearful decision in our life.
You’ve been chosen to do a public speaking, your automatic response: “why me?”, “I’m not ready”, “give me more time”, “i’m not good at it”.
You’ve been chosen to lead a team. You will say: “why me?”, “i’m not ready”, “next time”.
There is an unconscious and automatic feeling of fear that is rooted into thinking that we are going to fail.
The best way to fight it is to make a conscious and fearless decision to take action regardless of our negative thoughts. Regardless if our mind tells us that we will fail.
I’m not saying to make a hasty decision without a preparation. Plan ahead but don’t make it long. Acquire and equip yourself with knowledge and skills for less painful risks.
Most of our first attempt leads to an unwanted and painful mistakes. And that’s the inevitable reality that we have to face.
But the good news is, if we instill an action-oriented behavior, we become less fearful. The more we practice it the more our fear becomes less deciding factor.
