What if you couldn't FAIL?
You get up in the morning with the same excitement you have every day.
You look around the office and with a smug look on you face you say to yourself “I did this”
Now imagine the possibilities without FEAR?
You have great ideas every day, you visualise the potential of where your business COULD go.
And then it hits you like a sledge hammer, what if I F*** it up and it all goes wrong? What if this? what if that? Can I pull it off? What will people think of me?
Now, the little voice in your head is driving you crazy because the little voice is starting to make sense, and the voice in your head is given you the biggest problem we all face…..DOUBT.
My question to you, and a simple question it is at that. WHAT WOULD YOU DIFFERENT IF YOU KNEW YOU COULDN’T FAIL?
Entrepreneur is a word that is used far too often to describe a business owner. Anyone can start a business and anyone can call them self an Entrepreneur, however the real test is how we deal with the FEAR FACTOR.
Do we
A: Give ourselves reasons not to?
B: Not even consider option A
Fear is merely an emotion that can be controlled

How hard can it be to take your own Advice?
When it comes to giving advice, I love it! In fact its
more than that, I get no better feeling than hearing those great words “what
would you do Col?”
My advice over the years has become renowned for its
brutal honesty; I have always believed that if you ask for my opinion on a
specific matter, I will assume that you really wish to know what my opinion is? Surely
if you didn’t, you wouldn’t have asked?
Here’s my first piece of advice, if you have a fat arse,
please don’t ask me “does my bum look big in this” if you just wanted me to bullshit you into feeling good.
Now, here’s the problem, I can’t take my own advice, even
when I know that the advice would really improve a situation. If I could practice
what I preach (on many a level) I would be the person I always wanted to
become.
Just writing this down and reading it back to myself is making
me feel like a hypocritical two faced knob.
Take this for an example; I’m slightly overweight, I
repeat SLIGHTLY!! I know that I would just feel great if I shed a couple of
pounds. If you came to me with the same predicament, I would have you focus on the
end product, “how great would feel if you lost the weight” I’d ask you. I would
recommend that you journal your weight loss so you can see the progress, and so
on…….
So, the best piece of advice I could offer anybody
including ME is to take your own advice, use what you have inside you and practice
what you preach. Your self-belief with rocket into another dimension.
Try it tomorrow, I will.
