Courage or Fear!

Hey Friends,

I wanted to share something really valuable with you today.

The great writer Dani Shapiro was asked "In the last five years, what new belief, behaviour, or habit has most improved your life?"

Dani declared that courage was more important than confidence:

"When you are operating out of courage, you are saying that no matter how you feel about yourself or your opportunities or the outcome, you are going to take a risk and take a step toward what you want. You are not waiting for the confidence to mysteriously arrive. I now believe that confidence is achieved through repeated success at any endeavour. The more you practice doing something, the better you will get at it, and your confidence will grow over time."

That makes so much sense right? But when we were first starting out on our entrepreneurial journey, I thought I had to have it all together and look the part to even feel legitimate in attempting to create our online Business.

But that confidence didn't come until we started really gaining traction, and since then I've learned how important courage is, to be able to say "It doesn't matter what others think of me" and "I'm not going to let fear hold me back".

"Success is not final, failure it not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" Winston Churchill

Inhale courage. Exhale fear.
