As we come up to Halloween, forget ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night.
Some of the scariest things in business are the thoughts that creep into your head when you’re trying to sleep.
The fears that keep business owners awake
- 👻 What if I fail?
- 👻 What if I can’t attract enough clients?
- 👻 What if I put my prices up and lose customers?
- 👻 What if people discover I’m not as good as they think I am?
And perhaps the most surprising one…
- 👻 What if I succeed and can’t cope with the growth?
These are all very real fears, and I’ve encountered them many times when working with business owners.
Fear isn’t the problem
But here’s the thing.
Fear isn’t necessarily the problem. Allowing fear to make your decisions is.
You don’t need to eliminate every fear before moving forward.
You need clarity about what you want, a practical plan to achieve it, and someone who can challenge, support and hold you accountable along the way.
That’s what good business mentoring is all about.
Clarity. Direction. Focus.
