Eliminating Fear in Entrepreneurship

I´m sending this email from one of the best extreme sport locations in Utah called Moab (Arches National Park). I´m here on a workation (basically my business pays for my trip because I do some work while I´m here…) to do some off-roading and other outdoor activities for a few days. I have never done sky diving because I´m fearful of it. Maybe this time I´ll do it!?! What are your fears?

FEAR was a big part of my life the first 4 years I was in business.
Here were some of my fears;
Would the clients cancel their contracts?
Could I pay the bills?
Would my employees quit on me?
What if I failed?

As entrepreneurs we have to manage our fears or they can lead to panics attacks (and as you maybe know I have had that) and possibly a lot worse conditions like cancer, heart attack etc. The good news is that by understanding fear on a deeper level we can move past it. Tony Robbins says that FEAR in the modern world stands for False Evidence (that) Appears Real.

I had a very big a-ha moment last month about fear. In fact I became so excited about the solution to mastering my fears that I want to write a book about fear. The formula is very simple and it starts with reprogramming my mind with a simple sentence; “I can handle it.”

Now let´s combine my previous fears with; “I can handle it.”
I (insert your name here) can handle it if my clients cancel their contracts.
I Erlend can handle it if I can´t pay my bills.
I Erlend can handle it if my employees quit on me.
I Erlend can handle failure.
(The affirmation becomes more powerful when you insert your own name.)

A lot of fear comes from the lack of belief that you can handle the future or what you believe is coming. However all this changes if you deep inside yourself believe that you can handle whatever comes. In this sense fear and self-esteem are quite closely linked. Believe in yourself and that you can handle it! Try it out and let me know how it works for you. (Please email me by replying to this email.)
