Do you remember the question I asked you a little over a week ago? Well, I asked a few more of our community members the same question and the results are in!

The question was: what challenges do you have when it comes to generating six figures in your business? There were three elements that came up as the main challenges.

I want to share them with you today and then walk through some steps on how to move beyond these challenges over the next few emails.

So, what came up was:

1. Fear
2. Focus
3. Finances

Today we will dive deeper into fear. Many entrepreneurs have had extreme challenges and failures when it comes to building the business of their dreams and when another chance comes around to build a business or make money, the memory of what did not work resurfaces. When that happens, fear can creep in and hold you back from building your business, asking for a sale and ultimately making the impact you are here to make.

I understand. I also have experienced this in my own business.

At one point on my entrepreneur journey, I ran a business that barely brought in enough money to cover my website expenses. The business failed and I realized that I had to shift my focus. I needed to think about what I really wanted to create for myself. Once I had that vision in my mind, I created it. The kicker was, I was so fearful to take the plunge and grow because of the previous failures I experienced. What I did was learn how to manage my fear and not let the fear stop me. 

I reviewed what I was so fearful of. I acknowledged my fear, named it, told my fear what I now needed it to do and then I took action anyway and was able to 10X my business in that year. 

Then I was able to hire people, generate more income and continue to make the impact that I am here to make. This is the work I am doing today and this is also how I help my clients begin to create a solid foundation in their own businesses.

Whenever we are learning something new, we may miss the mark ... we may fall ... we may fail. What we do with the information we learn is definitely what makes all the difference and helps move us to the next phase of our process and closer to our dreams. In life and business, these challenges are lessons in understanding what works and what does not work while paying close attention to what did and what did not go according to your plan. By paying attention to these lessons, we can better prepare for the next step, next phase of growth or getting on track to doing the work we are here to create.

So when you have fallen flat on your face as a result of fear.

1. Review what happened. - What caused the misstep in your business?
2. Acknowledge what happened. Acknowledge the fear.
3. Name it.
4. Have a conversation with your fear and let it know what you need moving forward.
5. Make a new plan using the information you learn and take action anyway.

It is time to stand up, dust the dirt off, care for and bandage your wounds, and yes, try again.
