It hurts my heart to see people spend so much time in energy into building their business, only to not launch their product, membership, or blog. Sometimes it’s reasons like life or family stuff, but most of the time it comes down to good-old-fashioned fear. But where did that fear of failing come from? When we understand WHY we do the things that we do, then we can make a shift. When you know better you do better. I want to go over three main reasons why you might be so scared to fail in business. Because when you are an entrepreneur, failure WILL come. But friend, you are not your business. You have worth and value apart from your business.
