My Biggest Fear isn't Failure

Today is my third day on WA and I am loving every minute and second of it but with all that optimism comes fear. As much as I want success, I'm not too afraid of never getting it, I am afraid of my audience's opinions and judgement. I am afraid of what people might think regarding my writing, my content and worse my intelligence or lack of intelligence. As a French major, I am use to being around peers inside a classroom where everyone makes mistakes, where everyone has been embarrassed at one point or another. Yet, a mistake will not generate the same feeling with an audience that spans to more than 2 billion people, how did Rebecca Black do it. As much as I want to avoid humiliating myself, I have to let go because the only way I will reach success is by trying and failing. So here I am, exposing myself to all the good people of WA and this is where my humiliation starts.

monteo,
you know what, fear, of any sort is the biggest key to success. once you realize it and overcome it, you would have changed lanes and are on high gear to success. if your biggest fear is to fail, all you need is to pick up yourself and start again. if it is about jdgements from others, all you need is shut your world from those who keep criticizing. why, because they are already failires before they have tried. just take contrctie criticism and separate the rest a chaff. all the best girl, you will make it. marcy

I'll be honest, I was so skeptical about entering IM, as I used to look at those in this business as nerds. After being exposed to this arena, I discovered that even the most brilliant blogs I read are those coming from ordinary Mums at home, and unemployed people who want to start afresh. I'm just so much like you. With my first ever website alone, I didn't know what to expect. I was surprised with the nice comments and also the little tweaks that I had to improve on that WA members have reminded me about.

I think this is very true, and acknowledging your fear is the best thing to get it out of the way and to move forward. Looking forward to connecting with you.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Hi Lupe - I'm sure you will do just fine. And all of us experience some failure with this stuff - so you'll be in good company. Try not to worry about it, just follow the training and take lots of action. Good luck :) Beverley

Good you tell this Lupe! You are here also in a kind of classroom "where everyone makes mistakes.." You can ask everything and nobody does what you fear. There is much mutual assistance and a lot of understanding.
Don't hesitate and ask everything. There will be nobody who will judge you,
I write DutchEnglish and make many mistakes. Nobody criticized me but I got a lot of help. Evrreybody encourages you. Success!

Feel the fear and do it anyways! I know that sounds like a cheesy cliche but it works:)

Fear, everyone's worst enemy! I understand and can feel your anxiousness through your blog BUT I can also tell that it is honest and well written and that shows you've already proven your fear wrong! :)
