If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my business journey, it’s that fear is constant and it’s here to stay. Whether it’s fear of failure, fear of success, fear of being seen or even fear of being an imposter, business building and fear go hand in hand. And it’s for this reason that people who are most successful in business and are able to make a bigger impact aren’t necessarily the smartest, the kindest, the warmest or the most business savvy. They’re simply those who have learned how to be comfortable with uncomfortable feelings. They’ve learned how to coexist with fear. In this episode of Conscious Business Builders podcast I’m joined by Peter Scott IV. Peter is the Founder of the Fearless Coach Academy and Author of the #1 Bestselling book, “The Fearless Mindset”. His mission is to transform humanity’s relationship with fear so that anyone can make the impact and earn the income they desire.
