Gary Vaynerchuk often says to win you need to fall in love with failing. Failing to him is a way forward into success, that you can’t succeed by being afraid of failing. Every day there are so many things that can go wrong and to be held hostage by the fear of everything going wrong, only pulls you into an unnecessary head space that wastes your time.
Easier said than done, I know, but I’ll tell you what. The guy is on to something and when I’m feeling the most down, I pull up his Instagram for that shot in the arm of motivation I know he will have for me.
Just to put forth the effort and try has courage to it. There are many people out there doing something better than you, worse than you or not doing it at all and wishing themselves the courage to try. What’s something you do that other people make comments about? Raising chickens? Fostering a dog? Having a baby?
Is it really that scary? Or is it just unfamiliar?
