The fear of failure is something we constantly face. As an entrepreneur this was something i had to constantly fight. it hindered me from a lot of business opportunities. I finally decided i was not going to live with it anymore. today i would be telling you how i finally overcame the fear of failure. I genuinely care about your success and i hope this post helps you in anyway possible.

The fear of failure also called atychiphobia is when we let fear stop us from achieving the different goals we have in life. They are different ways the fear of failure can be manifested in peoples life. Some people think they are just not good enough to achieve greater heights in life. this could be due to an unsupportive childhood.

okay before i tell you how you can overcome the fear of failure, let me tell you this, there is nothing wrong in failing. yes i said it! when you fail you learn something you didn’t know before. now this may sound controversial in way but it is the truth. we all need to learn how to fail forward, failing forward meaning when you fail you learn from your experience. okay now that you know failure is not a bad thing, let me give you 3 simple ways you can overcome the fear of failure.

1) Learn to think more positively: Thinking positively is an awesome way to overcome the fear of failure. It will also help you with your self-confidence. Check out my blog post on “how to turn you negative thoughts to positive” it will give you more details.

2)The more you fail the greater the chances of succeeding: “there is no failure only feedback.”- Robert Allen. this is one of my favorite quotes. the difference between the successful and the not yet successful, is the realization that success is not a permanent event.

3)Listen to your deepest desire: you need to find out what drives you to wake up every morning. what is the one thing your passionate about? find it and then maximize it. let it drive you to take action. believe me the moment you find your deepest desires that is the moment your fear of failure disappears.
