Stop Running Scared: Confronting Fear Head-On
Recently in my coaching sessions, I keep hearing people who say they are living in fear, working in fear, or being paralyzed by fear. I’ve also heard that the vast majority of people feel undervalued, insecure, or lost.
The Power of Faith Over Fear
Remember that the antidote for fear is faith. If you grow in your faith, you will vanquish your fears. Also, the more you focus on serving others, the less time you’ll have to think about your fears.
Why Intimidation Holds You Back
Many people are fearful because someone is intimidating them. It could be someone in a personal relationship, a family member, a boss, or negative friends who don’t understand your vision or share your passion. When micromanagers or toxic people try to break your spirit, just keep saying silently to yourself these 8 words: “I don’t care, what you think, about anything.”
Taking Back Control: Your Mindset Matters
You’ll be amazed at how liberated you feel when you take away somebody else’s power to make you feel small. As Tom Peters said, “If you’re not pushing hard enough to get fired, you’re not pushing hard enough.” I’m not saying I want you to lose your job. I’m just saying that you probably haven’t tapped into your full potential yet because of fear. I don’t ever remember taking a risk in business that I regret — even if there were negative consequences because at least I learned something.
Embrace Risk: Unlock Your Full Potential
So, I challenge you not to be afraid to push the envelope, and to release your inner-maverick. It’s high time you become a leader worth following by focusing on becoming a master problem solver. So, stop running scared and start lifting others up and help them lose their fear as well. That’s how you become an ultimate entrepreneur.

In today’s high-demand business environment, the line between work and personal life has become increasingly blurred. With constant emails, notifications, and the expectation to always be available, many professionals find themselves struggling to keep up. What starts as a dedication to a thriving career can quickly lead to stress, overwhelm, and eventually burnout. For many, success has come at a steep cost, long hours, missed family moments, declining health, and the pressure to always perform. Rather than experiencing the fulfillment of their hard work, they find themselves exhausted, disconnected, and questioning if the sacrifices are truly worth it.
There’s a saying I picked up many years ago. It goes, “Having books and not reading in the information age is like having seeds and not planting in the agricultural age.” If that statement is true, then it also follows that joining and paying for a networking organization, and not attending, is just like throwing money down the drain. Unfortunately, that’s what I see so many entrepreneurs do when they start getting...
The Importance of Ease of Execution in Business
When was the last time you looked into your ease of execution? I’m talking about how easy it is for you to deliver your products and services to your customers and how easy it is for them to get them from you — which also includes ease of delivery.
A Real-Life Example: Carpet Installation Gone Wrong
After 27 years, I finally broke down to get some new carpet for my family room/exercise area/office area. Although I had never bought any products from this company before, they were an exceptionally well-known and well-established brand-name carpet and
