Fear debilitates action. Where has fear hindered your progress? Has fear kept you from pursuing a job promotion, diving into a new career, going after a big account, reinventing your business, or innovating? Fear of
failure, humiliation, or making mistakes hinders our creative impulses and our ability to create extraordinary changes in the world.
Step 1: To overcome fear, we must first identify it.
Identify five places in your life and business where fear has hindered your progress.
When the tiger is charging you, two choices arise: stand motionless in fear to be mauled, or attack the tiger and see what happens. In standing motionless your fate is certain.

Create a list of action steps for moving beyond each fear.
