The Fear Factor

Since we will be discussing The Fear Factor during the next Entrepreneur Hour radio show on Monday, February 9 at noon on WBZT 1230AM, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you a recent experience in addressing the topic of fear at one of my seminars and an experience I had in feeling fear that resulted in an exercise in my book called, Feeling your Fear.

Last week I gave a presentation about using personal power for professional success at the SBA’s National Entrepreneurship Center in Orlando, Florida and asked the attendees if they ever just feel their fear, sit in the feeling and let the fearful feelings pass through their body. Less than 2% raised their hands. I could relate to that 2%. A few years ago I was putting together an event. I coordinated the public relations, the speakers and all the details. I was really excited until the morning of the event. Fear overwhelmed me and instead of being excited about the day, I felt scared to death. I wanted to hide. I wished it would rain – anything but having to walk through the fear. I knew I had to be there and there was no way around the fear anymore.

I felt paralyzed by fear so I sat down, lit a candle and for the first time in my life, I let myself feel the scary feelings. I let these scary feelings just pass through my body. Within five minutes or so, the scary feelings passed and I went on with the event. Everything went great, better than expected actually. What I learned is that when we let ourselves just feel the fear, it passes through us and does not hold us captive any longer.

Next time you feel afraid, find a safe place, whether it’s sitting in your car, standing in a bathroom stall or sitting in the corner of your room. Feel your scary feelings. Let them pass through your body. Just try it – you have nothing to lose but fear!

If you would like to be e-mailed the Feel your Fear exercise from Suzanne’s Employee to Entrepreneur, send her an e-mail at Suzanne@profit-strategies.com and she’ll send it to you in a word document.

What Others Are Saying
About This Book:

"No matter how successful you were in corporate America, you know nothing about becoming an entrepreneur. I know because I was the President/CEO of four companies before I became an entrepreneur. I could have used this book."

Sigmund Goodwin
Vice-President
The Radcliff Company

"How I wished that I had had this precious and practical tool to help me in my escape from Corporate America! After 15 years in “Fortune 50” Corporations I was convinced that the “crossing” was not possible. Practical advice such as “what to do until the money flows” would have greatly eased the transition for me. Negative corporate management’s reinforcement about the “big bad world” and not realizing that it didn’t have to be an all or nothing transition delayed my ultimately successful escape by years. This book will be an entrepreneurial bible."
