The fear of failure holds so many women back from achieving the success they want and deserve in their business.
...sometimes it even prevents them from starting in the first place!
I was at an event over the weekend full of people wanting a change. It was eye-opening. Most of them cited that they were afraid to start something new or to change as they feared what others might think of them if they did.
Am I the only one who thinks it's crazy to limit your future and stay miserable, in case someone else doesn't like it?
I'd like to share some wise words from Martha Graham: "What people in the world think of you is none of your business." How true is that?! If you think about it, what people think about what you are doing or not doing is their problem, not yours. You certainly shouldn't stay stuck where you are or do nothing for fear of it!
On that point, here's another great quote. It's some advice a colleague of mine, Kim Madsen, once shared: "Never take advice from someone who doesn't already drive your dream car!"
In reality, most people don't think of you at all. They are too wrapped up worrying about what others might think of them! If they do think about what you are doing, it's likely to be fleeting.
So, now you're not worried about what others think - it's time to get out there, make a difference and set the world alight!
To do that successfully, you're going to fail a few times first so you can learn how to really get things done and have an impact.
To help you, here are some of my favourite quotes that will encourage you to fail more often.
