Part 1 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers Summary"Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers is a self-help book that explores the concept of dealing with fear and building confidence to take action in various aspects of life. Here are the key points and themes presented in the book:Understanding Fear: Jeffers describes fear as a natural and universal emotion that everyone experiences. She emphasizes that feeling fear is not the problem; rather, it is how we respond to that fear that matters. Fear and Self-Doubt: The author links fear to self-doubt, explaining that many fears stem from a lack of confidence in our abilities. This fear can paralyze us and prevent us from pursuing opportunities.The Importance of Acknowledging Fear: Jeffers encourages readers to acknowledge their fears instead of ignoring them. By facing fear head-on, individuals can begin to understand it and lessen its hold over their lives.Taking Action: The central tenet of the book is to take action despite the fear. Jeffers argues that the best way to overcome fear is to participate in activities that challenge it, thus gaining confidence and experience.Decision-Making: One of the strategies presented is to develop a more positive decision-making approach. Jeffers suggests using affirmations and positive self-talk to shift our mindset about fear and decision-making.Accepting Uncertainty: The book discusses the inevitability of uncertainty in life. Jeffers teaches that it's important to embrace the unknown rather than shying away from it, as uncertainty often leads to new opportunities for growth.Empowerment Through Responsibility: Jeffers emphasizes personal responsibility in overcoming fear. She believes that taking ownership of our choices empowers us to change our lives.Building a Fear-Defeating Toolbox: Throughout the book, Jeffers provides practical exercises and tools to help manage and overcome fear, such as visualization, journaling, and seeking support from others.Reframing Fear: Instead of viewing fear as a hindrance, Jeffers suggests reframing it as a signal for personal growth. Where there is fear, there is often an opportunity for advancement and self-improvement.Overall, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" serves as a motivational guide for those looking to confront their fears and live a more fulfilled life. Jeffers' insights encourage readers to accept their fears, confront them, and take the necessary steps to pursue their goals.Part 2 Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway AuthorSusan Jeffers was an American author, motivational speaker, and psychologist, best known for her self-help book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway," which was first published in 1987.

In this episode, Dr. Aziz sits down with Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy. They dive deep into the traps that hold men back, from the comfort of the nursery to the relentless drive of 10x culture. Learn about the pitfalls of striving for perfection and how to break free from the patterns of self-doubt and fear. Dr. Glover shares insights on the importance of masculine initiation, overcoming isolation, and the power of connecting with good men to enhance personal growth. Discover practical steps to face your fears, build genuine confidence, and find balance in your pursuit of success. Tune in for a powerful conversation that will inspire you to take bold actions and live authentically. Break Free from Fear: The Path to Unstoppable Confidence The Proven Path to Confidence Dr. Aziz opens with a powerful statement: "This is always the path to confidence." With over 15 years of experience and countless success stories, he shares the ultimate strategy for building unwavering confidence: consistently facing your fears. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway The concept is simple yet profound: to grow, you must step out of your comfort zone and confront what scares you. Dr. Aziz emphasizes that while many understand this idea intellectually, few truly live it. "Most people know it intellectually, but do not know it in their own experience of life." Fear is a natural part of growth. Instead of waiting for fear to disappear, Dr. Aziz encourages taking action despite it. This shift from passive waiting to active doing is the cornerstone of building lasting confidence. Key Steps to Conquer Fear 1. Immediate Action Acting quickly on new insights is crucial. When you learn something that can improve your confidence, put it into practice immediately. This swift action reinforces your courage and begins the process of transforming fear into confidence. 2. Consistent Action Confidence isn't built overnight. It requires regular, consistent actions that push your boundaries. Each small step outside your comfort zone adds up, gradually expanding what you're comfortable with. "Fear is an invitation. It's a guiding star, your compass to set your navigation." Real-Life Examples: From Anxiety to Extraordinary Confidence Dr. Aziz shares his journey of overcoming deep social anxiety. Afraid of speaking to people, especially women, and voicing his thoughts in groups, he found solace and a path forward in Susan Jeffers' book, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway. This pivotal moment helped him realize that waiting for fear to vanish was futile. Instead, he began taking immediate and consistent actions to face his fears head-on. A Conversation with Dr. Robert Glover In this episode, Dr. Aziz welcomes Dr. Robert Glover, author of No More Mr. Nice Guy. Dr. Glover shares insights from his extensive experience working with men on relationship and self-esteem issues. Here's a snapshot of his wisdom: On common recurring problems: "I see a lot of men feeling not good enough... driven by fear of failure, not good enough, and they've got to be more and more successful. It's never enough." On dealing with the ruminating brain: "We've turned it into something to be worshiped. Men are like, we bow at the altar of Navy SEALs, high performing, and super-exing your performance. And that's not all that life's about." On the impact of social media: "Put down the social media." On the practice of surrender: "The best way to open is to not close. So when your body and your mind, everything is saying no, how can you make it a yes?" On facing fears: "If something scares me now, I lean into it. I made a commitment when I turned 40. I didn't want to die afraid." On masculine initiation: "Masculine initiation can be dancing in front of a bunch of bros. It's about facing fears and getting out of your comfort zone." Practical Exercises to Start Today Not sure where to start? Begin with simple exercises. Greet a stranger or take a cold shower to challenge yourself. These small actions may seem insignificant, but they build the foundation for greater confidence. An Inspiring Message: Your Journey to Success Building confidence is a continuous journey. Dr. Aziz encourages you to practice self-compassion and celebrate each step forward, no matter how small. "May you have the courage to be who you are and to know on a deep level that you're awesome." Conclusion: Take the First Step Now The path to confidence is clear: face your fears, take immediate and consistent action, and embrace discomfort as a natural part of growth. Dr. Aziz's approach isn't about eliminating fear but transforming it into a powerful ally on your journey to self-discovery and empowerment. Are you ready to take the first step today?

This is another one of my "asking for a friend" episodes. I thought you'd be as interested in me in learning how performance golf coach, Eric Cogorno, built a 7-figure business with his popular YouTube channel and online training platform, cogornogolf.com. I got that and so much more: A masterclass in working through fear, setting goals, writing a detailed 10-year plan that includes income projections, the power of meditation and daily visualizations and showing up consistently even when you feel like quitting.  Eric credits having a great creative partner, Mary Lengle, reading Feel the Fear...and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers and following Jim Rohn's Goal Setting Method. The result is deeply inspiring and totally actionable.  Also visit Eric's second channel Lessons I've Learned with Eric Cogorno including this keeper: The Secret to Stopping Fear & Anxiety.

Dr. Aziz, a renowned psychologist and coach, reveals the secret to achieving this in his latest video. Let's dive into the essence of his transformative message and discover the practical steps you can take to begin your journey to unwavering confidence. The Universal Path to Confidence Dr. Aziz opens with a powerful declaration: "This is always the path to confidence." Backed by years of personal and professional experience, he emphasizes that the way to build confidence is not just a theory but a proven method observed in thousands of cases. The foundation? Doing what scares you. Embrace the Fear: Feel It, Do It Anyway It's a simple yet profound truth: to grow, you must step out of your comfort zone. Dr. Aziz reminds us that while many understand this concept intellectually, few practice it in their daily lives. "Most people know it intellectually, but do not know it in their own experience of life." Fear is a natural reaction to expanding your boundaries. But, instead of waiting for the fear to disappear, Dr. Aziz urges you to take action despite it. This, he explains, is the true test of courage and the key to unlocking your potential. Real-Life Applications: From Social Anxiety to Extraordinary Confidence Dr. Aziz shares his own story of overcoming deep-seated social anxiety. Afraid of talking to people, particularly women, and speaking up in groups, he reached a turning point with the help of Susan Jeffers' book, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway." This pivotal moment led him to realize that waiting for fear to vanish was futile. Instead, he began taking immediate and consistent actions to confront his fears head-on. Key Steps to Build Confidence Immediate Action: When you learn something new, act on it right away. The quicker you take action, the more you reinforce your courage. Consistent Action: Confidence is built over time. Regularly face your fears to steadily expand your comfort zone. "Fear is an invitation. It's a guiding star, your compass to set your navigation." Practical Exercises: Start Small, Think Big Not sure where to start? Dr. Aziz suggests simple yet impactful exercises. For instance, greet a stranger or take a cold shower to push your boundaries. These small steps can have a significant impact on your confidence over time. A Message of Hope: You Can Succeed Building confidence is a continuous journey. Dr. Aziz encourages you to be kind to yourself throughout the process. Replace self-criticism with self-compassion and celebrate each victory, no matter how small. The path to confidence is clear: face your fears, take immediate and consistent action, and embrace the discomfort as a natural part of growth. Dr. Aziz's approach is not about eliminating fear but transforming it into a powerful ally on your journey to self-discovery and empowerment. Are you ready to take the first step today?

Vandaag vertel ik wat ik geleerd heb van het boek 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' van Susan Jeffers. Maar ik plaats ook een stevige kanttekening bij de uitgangspunten van het boek. Over zichtbare en onzichtbare diversiteit, over onzichtbare laddertjes, over op de hoogste of laagste trede staan, over maakbaarheid, over activisme, over no-win en no-lose en over de angst het niet aan te kunnen.

Private Coaching Fear and Courage. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway "If everybody feels fear when approaching something totally new in life, yet so many are out there doing it despite fear, then we must conclude that fear is not the problem." Fear is not the problem. It's our attitude and our actions. One of the things I coach with people is I look at their goal, and then I look at their thoughts around that goal, or their affirmations, their affirmative thought around that goal, and then I look at those actions around the goal. So we make sure that the affirmative thoughts, or the thoughts that you are having around being a Working Actor, are not thoughts like, "Oh, I'm not good enough. It'll never happen. I'm too old for this shit." Whatever it is, that we start turning those thoughts around because we need to have our thoughts and our actions supporting and backing up that goal. That is how you create success in your life. But for me, when I started first to learn this work, I was like, "Yeah, but I'm fucking terrified, and I am filled with anxiety, and I cannot imagine calling my manager and asking, how come I don't have any auditions, or I haven't had any auditions for a couple of weeks." But yet, those were the things that I needed to do, either to get more activity or learn that manager was really not that into me and I needed to find someone else. Fear is not the problem. But what the problem is, according to Susan Jeffers, which I concur with, is how we hold and manage our fear. It's our attitude toward fear. So again, remember that fear is not the problem. How we hold and manage the fear is. Last week I talked about how you will never be given more than you can handle, but you will be given more than you can control. And manage is another word for handle. If how we hold and manage fear is the problem, guess what is the phenomenal, exciting news about that? Then there's something we can do about it. There is something we can actually do about it. Because if it's in our realm of being able to handle or manage. Hey, that's our job, remember, controlling is not. You're never going to be able to control your fear. Believe me, I spent a lifetime trying to do it doesn't work. But I can manage how I handle it. I can manage how I think about it and what I do about it. And the thing is that if I stay, in that belief, that fear actually is the problem, then I'm staying in that victim energy. Then I'm staying in that catabolic energy, that hopeless energy. "There's nothing I can do," bullshit. There is something you can do. Now I'm not going to say that it's going to be easy, and I'm not going to say that it's simple. But it is doable. In fact, it is simple. It's just not easy. So if we accept the truth that how we hold and manage fear is the problem, and I stress that is a truth, that is a Universal Truth, not an ego truth. That is an infinite truth. Then we put ourselves energetically of taking responsibility, and then we can move forward. So if we put ourselves energetically saying, "You know what? I understand I have fear. I, but I can manage it. I can handle it." By just doing that, we take ourselves out of catabolic energy, victim energy and in to anabolic energy, which is the energy of taking responsibility. But if we stay with the idea that fear is the problem, guess what? We stay stuck. So many people, I was at a networking event yesterday and it wasn't an actor. It was just a neighborhood networking event. The number one thing that everybody told me was "I feel stuck." The reason why you're stuck is that you are afraid. So let's get you unstuck. Now, if again, how we hold and manage fear is the problem, we can move out of fear and then we can accomplish our goals or our wants or our needs. So Susan Jeffers talks about a how we hold our fear, and she has a chart. When we hold our fear, we have some kind of what? Pain. And that pain is caused by feelings of helplessness, feelings of depression, feelings of paralysis. But when we move into that anabolic energy, we take responsibility of managing and handling our lives as opposed to controlling it or just not doing anything, then we end up with choice. We end up with excitement because "oh my god we're actually doing it now." And we end up with action. And when I talk about this power, this idea of power of how we get ourselves to do what we want. I am talking about the power within ourselves, which is ultimately building self-esteem. So if we have power over our perceptions of the world, we have power over our thoughts. We have good, affirmative thoughts. Then, we have power over our reactions. Let's say something happens. I spill coffee on my new blouse. My immediate reaction will then be, "Oh God, that was so stupid. Or I'm so stupid." But then I want to tell myself, "Stop." I want to stop. And then I want to take a step back from what I just said to myself. What just happened? Stop. take a step back. And I use that example of putting your hand on your face and you cannot really see your hand. But if you move back a foot and you look at your hand, you are then in a place of what you are in a place of observation. When you are in a place of observation, you can ask yourself that valuable question, "is this healthy for me to behave, to think this way, or is it unhealthy for me?" Then, of course, I'm going to realize it's unhealthy for me to have such a negative reaction to just what was it? A fricking little mistake. So what am I going to do? I am going to respond. I'm going to respond with a loving thought. I love myself, and I approve of myself. And here's a genius idea. Go get some club soda. Go get a towel wipe off your blouse, and take it to the dry cleaner. Was it worth beating up on yourself? For all of that? For just spilling some coffee? No. Because nothing is worth a dig at my self-esteem. Nothing. I have a phrase that says, "A Response is a reaction with a pause and a thought behind it." And when we have power over our reactions or our perceptions, we are using that process of stopping, taking a step back and observing, looking at it for what it is from a distance because, again, we're in that valuable place of observation and then responding to the situation. Power to do what is necessary for our own self-growth and career and all of these things make you feel better about yourself. It creates healthy self-love, and we need self-love to be in this business of show because the business is not going to supply you with that love. And this is the biggie. As a casting director, I also [00:13:00] am letting you know you cannot ask it to. As a casting director, I cannot be the one telling you, "Don't be afraid; it's okay." Now, obviously, as a coach, it is. But if I'm in a job situation, I cannot be the one nurturing you. That's not my job. My job is to cast the actor who knows they are doing a great job and who has assured me that they are in great hands. That's what I need. I don't need to be validating your existence on this planet. I have way too many other things on my plate. I need you to know you're good. And I need you to assure me. I'm in good hands. This power that I've been talking about in the podcast before and in this one gives you the ability to get yourself to do what you want to do. It gets you out of your own way. It is empowering and ultimately, it creates a tremendous sense of serenity. But guess what? It always. It always. is, it's always magnetizing. It's like when in sports, when you see the person who breaks away and runs with the ball and crosses the finish line, or gets the goal gets the goal, or scores the touchdown. That is so exciting. And it's also exciting when a casting director sees an actor be great at their work. It just makes me want to cast them over and over again. You do not have to be incapacitated by your fears. You do not.  

Universal Truths about Fear ----- I hadn't expected the reaction to last week's commentary on fear and sloth. The podcast version was forwarded more than most and the social media got a lots of attention and forwards, too. Most of those commenting were like me – sloth is not such a problem. Fear is the problem. A friend pointed me to a book that, he says, changed his life. It's called Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers and was first published in 1987. It's sold millions and has been translated into 35 different languages. Fear is a big seller because it's a common problem. I downloaded it to my Audible account and there it sat before I decided to finally listen. Frankly, I was skeptical. I find most of these types of books thin on content, and I should know because I've written a few. But if it changed my friend's life then maybe some relic of this dated message will resonate with me. So this morning, sitting with a coffee in my hotel room well before dawn with the curtain open to watch the sunrise, I hit play to listen to the book. I'm only on Chapter 3 and can honestly say I have taken a whole new and different approach to this persistent nemesis of mine called fear. So far, book is working. There are many highlights already, but this stood out: Jeffers says there are five universal truths about fear, and we should repeat them ten times a day for a month or more. That's a bit much, but I will print them and pin the to the wall near my desk. First, fear will never go away as long as we continue to grow. Fear's a consequence of growth and growth does not happen without fear accompanying it. Second, the only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is simply go out and do it. Third, the only way to feel better about myself is to go out and do that which I fear. Fourth, not only am I going to experience fear whenever I'm on unfamiliar territory, but so is everyone else. You and I are not alone, but you'd never know because we all wear such a brave face, don't we? However, we're all feeling much the same. And fifth, my favorite one, pushing through fear is less frightening than living with the underlying fear that comes from a feeling of helplessness. Jeffers goes on to say she's has never met someone who does not struggle with fear. Maybe they're out there, she says, but probably not. Some call it nerves. Some call it anxiety. Some call it worry. But it's all the same thing: it's fear. It's helpful stuff to know, but results come from taking action. So, with these five universal truths about fear in mind, I'm going to tackle some things I've been avoiding, using thin excuses but, in truth, I've been afraid of.  Join me, and let's see what happens. I'm Cam Marston and I'm just trying to Keep It Real.

Audio: Motivational Speech on Courage  Guest: Krista Roseborough  Welcome to the Undeniable Level Up Podcast, your go-to source for powerful insights and transformative tips to elevate every aspect of your life! Why settle for mediocrity when you can unleash your full potential? Join us as we dive into the world of personal and professional growth, uncovering life hacks to boost your career, turbocharge your relationships, and elevate your personal well-being. Together, let's unlock the secrets to becoming the ultimate version of yourself, armed with the tools, strategies, and yes, even the tricks, that we'll explore in our captivating conversations. Get ready to level up like never before! You know, courage is really an interesting and layered idea. It's been on the minds of thinkers and philosophers for ages. Basically, it's all about standing up to tough situations or risks with a strong mindset, some guts, and a can-do attitude. So, Aristotle talked about courage in his book Nicomachean Ethics, and he saw it as one of the most important virtues. He believed it's all about striking the perfect balance between being too scared and too confident when dealing with tough times. A brave person knows they're afraid, but they still take action, without running away or diving headfirst into danger. Historically, other philosophers perspectives on courage emphasized moral or ethical considerations. For example, some philosophers argued that courage involves not your the ability to face danger or adversity but it towards a just or a noble cause. In this sense, courage is tied to moral principles and a commitment to doing what is right, even when it is difficult or risky.   Oh, and speaking of courage, existentialist philosophers like Søren Kierkegaard and Jean-Paul Sartre had their own unique take on it. They saw courage as dealing with the ups and downs of life while trying to find meaning in a world that doesn't seem to care. For them, being brave means tackling life's uncertainties, owning your freedom and responsibility, and making genuine choices when faced with life's big questions. Courage, as a philosophical concept can be understood as a virtue that enables individuals to face adversity, danger, or challenges with strength, determination, and a commitment to moral or ethical principles. While the specific nuances of courage may vary across philosophical perspectives, it is generally recognized as a crucial aspect of human character and personal development. And here to speak with us about courage is out special guest and friend, Krista Roseborough.   Hi Krista… Joe and I met Krista through Jiu Jitsu when she was training here in Houston, TX.  As a professional, a mother, a daughter and the many more hats that Krista wears, the one thing she never has a shortage of, is courage.  Thank you for taking the time to join us today.   Can you begin by telling our listeners where you grew up?    "Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear." – Franklin D. Roosevelt Q: What are your thoughts about President Roosevelt's words? This quote really highlights that courage is not about being fearless, but rather understanding and recognizing that some things are more important than fear, such as what we value and hold dear, our goals and our purpose in life. Today, we present seven powerful hacks that will not only boost your courage but also empower you to confront challenges and seize new opportunities in life. By implementing these seven practical strategies, you'll be able to develop your courage, conquer your fears, and unlock your full potential And the first of the seven hacks is setting achievable goals – Setting achievable goals is essential to driving internal courage as it fosters a sense of self-efficacy, motivation, and resilience in individuals. By establishing realistic objectives, individuals are more likely to feel confident in their abilities to overcome challenges and accomplish their desired outcomes. This sense of self-belief serves as a catalyst for courage, empowering individuals to take calculated risks and face adversity head-on. Moreover, breaking down larger aspirations into smaller, attainable goals provides a clear roadmap for progress, allowing individuals to track their achievements and maintain motivation. As each milestone is reached, a sense of accomplishment further reinforces the courage to persevere and overcome obstacles.  In essence, setting achievable goals not only nurtures a resilient mindset but also cultivates the internal courage needed to navigate life's uncertainties and achieve personal and professional success. Q: Have you ever found breaking goals down into smaller chunks boosting of your self esteem and confidence? And has that ever given you courage to chase more daring and challenging objectives? The 2nd Hack is embracing vulnerability.  You know, being open and vulnerable is super important when it comes to building up your courage. It helps you form genuine connections, grow as a person, and bounce back from tough times. When you're honest about your fears and hopes with people you trust, you create a support system that can offer great advice, motivation, and guidance. Sharing your experiences and viewpoints not only makes you stronger, but it also helps you feel less alone in your struggles. Plus, when you embrace vulnerability, you can face and accept your own limitations, which helps you develop a growth mindset that's key for building courage. Recognizing your weaknesses means you can tackle them head-on and learn from your setbacks, turning obstacles into chances for growth and self-improvement. And, being vulnerable also encourages self-compassion and empathy, giving you a better understanding of your feelings and experiences. This emotional intelligence lets you handle tough situations with more adaptability and resilience, which ultimately boosts your inner courage. Q:  Have you ever struggled to be vulnerable and where did you muster the courage to overcome that fear? Number three is practicing mindfulness.  Practicing mindfulness is important to driving internal courage because it fosters a deep sense of self-awareness, emotional regulation, and mental focus. By engaging in mindfulness practices, such as meditation or journaling, you learn to observe and process your thoughts and emotions without judgment. This increased self-awareness allows you to recognize and confront your fears, paving the way for the development of courage. Furthermore, mindfulness helps you stay present and focused, enabling you to approach challenges with a calm, clear mind and a heightened sense of resilience.  As you become more adept at managing your emotions, you'll find it easier to act courageously in the face of adversity, since you'll be less likely to be overwhelmed by fear or anxiety. In addition, mindfulness encourages reflection and introspection, which can lead to a better understanding of your values, goals, and motivations. This clarity of purpose further reinforces your internal courage, empowering you to make confident decisions and take decisive action in pursuit of your aspirations. Ultimately, practicing mindfulness is a powerful tool for cultivating a courageous mindset, equipping you with the mental and emotional strength to navigate life's challenges with grace and determination. Q: How do you practice mindfulness?  What grounds you in the present?   READ QUOTE: Nelson Mandela stated, when asked about overcoming fear, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." Q: What do you think President Mandela meant by that statement? The truly courageous person acknowledges their fear and finds the strength to conquer it in order to move forward. Hack number four is visualizing success.  You know, visualizing success is super important when it comes to building courage. It's all about using your imagination to picture yourself achieving your goals. When you do that, you can feel the emotions and excitement of success, which helps you believe in yourself and boosts your courage. The more you see yourself overcoming challenges and reaching your goals, the more confident and determined you become. It's like a mental practice run that gets your brain ready for success, making it easier to take action when things get tough. Plus, visualization can help you bounce back from setbacks by letting you imagine different situations and solutions. This way, you're prepared to handle surprises with confidence and courage. So, in a nutshell, picturing success is a powerful way to make your dreams come true, face your fears, and tackle life's challenges with a never-give-up attitude. Q: Do you visualize your success before it's achieved?  If so what does that look like?   Five is to surround yourself with positive influences.  Surrounding yourself with positive influences is critical to driving internal courage because the people you choose to spend time with have a profound impact on your mindset, beliefs, and actions. By connecting with individuals who inspire, uplift, and encourage you, you create an environment that fosters personal growth, self-belief, and a can-do attitude. These supportive relationships act as a source of strength and motivation, providing you with the confidence and resilience needed to face challenges head-on.  Additionally, positive influences can serve as role models, demonstrating through their own actions the power of courage, determination, and perseverance. This exposure to courageous behavior helps you internalize these qualities and adopt them as part of your own character. Ultimately, immersing yourself in a circle of positive influences paves the way for the development of internal courage, empowering you to tackle obstacles, seize opportunities, and reach your full potential. Q:  Who are the positive influencers in your circle?  How do you cultivate positive energy  in your environment?  Where is your Sacred Space of Success?  How to eliminate toxic or negative energy? Hack six is learn from your failures.  Learning from our mistakes is super important for building courage. It's all about turning those setbacks into chances for growth and getting better at what we do. When we learn from failure, we get to know our strengths and weaknesses better, and that helps us be more resilient when facing future challenges and making smart choices. Plus, it encourages us to see obstacles as stepping stones, not huge barriers we can't overcome. Changing the way we see failure helps us be braver when taking risks and facing tough times with determination and persistence. Plus, when we realize that failure is just a normal part of the journey to success, we're less scared of messing up, which boosts our confidence and self-assurance. So, learning from our mistakes not only makes us more resilient, but it also gives us the courage we need to chase after our dreams and goals, no matter what. Q: What has been your biggest failure and what did you learn from it?  How has this failure made you more fearless? The last hack, is to practice exposure.  Practicing exposure plays a vital role in developing and driving internal courage as it allows individuals to confront and gradually overcome their fears, anxieties, and limiting beliefs. By facing challenging situations or stimuli in a controlled and incremental manner, individuals learn to build tolerance and resilience, ultimately reducing their negative emotional responses to these perceived threats. This process of desensitization helps individuals recognize that their fears are often irrational or exaggerated, enabling them to develop a more grounded and realistic perspective. As individuals gain confidence in their ability to cope with previously intimidating situations, they experience a sense of empowerment and self-efficacy. This newfound belief in their capabilities serves as a catalyst for internal courage, fostering the determination and resolve necessary to tackle even greater challenges. Moreover, the process of exposure also promotes personal growth and self-awareness, as individuals gain insights into their strengths, weaknesses, and coping strategies. Ultimately, practicing exposure not only strengthens resilience and adaptability but also cultivates the internal courage essential for overcoming obstacles and achieving personal and professional success. Q: How do you practice exposure?  Has it been beneficial?  Have you struggled to practice exposure? READ QUOTE: The poet E.E. Cummings is quoted as saying, "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are."  Q: What do you think E.E. Cummings meant by this? I believe he meant that it takes courage to embrace our authentic selves and take the necessary steps to grow and develop, even when it's challenging or uncomfortable.  (CTA)If you find yourself holding back, dodging challenges, and coming up with reasons why you can't achieve what you truly desire, it's time to reignite your inner courage. If fear—whether it's the fear of making mistakes, looking foolish, or failing—is stopping you from stepping out of your comfort zone, then it's time to harness your internal bravery. If you're stuck in analysis paralysis, unable to make crucial decisions swiftly, or if you begin exciting projects only to quit without a clear reason, then this message is meant for you! We urge you to grab a copy of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers or "The Courage to Be Disliked" by Ichiro (Itch-e'-Row) Kishimi (Kish-e'-Me') and Fumitake (fumi-Taki) Koga. These books offer incredible insights into cultivating and nurturing your personal courage. Check the show notes for the links, and let the journey towards a more courageous you begin! https://a.co/d/9opStAQ - "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers  https://a.co/d/9PjWgNH - "The Courage to Be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Kogahttp://www.komusodesign.com/krista15 - "Komuso Breathing Necklace Krista, any advice for our listeners out there who may be struggling from an overall lack of  courage?  We want to thank you for joining us today on our show.  It has been a pleasure and incredibly humbling to get to know you on a more personal level and understand how you use courage to achieve and live an amazing life. As we wrap up this inspiring podcast on discovering courage, let's remember that courage isn't about being fearless; it's about facing challenges with determination, strength, and a dedication to doing what's right.  Our guest, Krista Roseborough, shared incredible wisdom on developing inner bravery, touching on setting achievable goals, welcoming vulnerability, practicing mindfulness, envisioning success, surrounding ourselves with positivity, learning from setbacks, and embracing exposure.  Building courage is a journey that takes time and effort, but the rewards are beyond compare. As E.E. Cummings beautifully put it, "It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are." So, let's all commit to nurturing the inner courage we need to reach our goals and unlock our true potential. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Are there people in your life that leave you exhausted when you talk to them? For whom the sad awful stories ever end! Being unhappy is not good for anyone, especially for the unhappy person. Give people the GIFT of your own happiness… so no one in your life ever has to worry about “making” you happy, or you not being happy. Make a list of people in your life who EXHAUST you and another list of those who DELIGHT you… What makes these two people different, how do you feel after spending time with them? Which one do you prefer to be around, and be more like? When you're a happy person YOU'RE A GIFT to everyone, especially your family. Lastly, very important… Don't jokingly “HINT” at your loved ones that they're somehow responsible (or failing at) for your happiness or well-being… THEY ARE NOT. Let those you love (like your husband) know how full your life is, how happy you are… what if you're not happy, you ask? My point exactly…  BECOME a happy and fulfilled woman. When you make yourself happy, no one else can make you UNHAPPY… no one! Let's connect on social media!

With Citizens Pay, merchants have the security of a leading national bank and an omnichannel platform designed to streamline the buying process.  If you want to learn more about Citizens Pay, visit https://citizensbank.mvk.co/2hycr where you can find additional information about Citizens Pay and the buy now pay later payment model.My guest this week has a truly fascinating story! Not only has she founded 3 successful companies and created a retail platform unparalleled in its omnichannel offerings, she also came to the United States at the ripe age of 16 years old with nothing but $200 in her pocket and a vision to create something impactful.  XY Retail CEO and Cofounder Susan Jeffers knew she wanted to be an entrepreneur by the time she was 12 years old. And not because her parents blazed a trail for her or anyone in her family gave her the idea that this should be her path, because she just knew she had the potential to create something amazing. For those of you who may not know, XY Retail is a fully hosted retail platform that connects all aspects of the retail business – from supply to demand – and allows brands the convenience and capacity to run their entire operations directly from their phone.According to Susan, the customer journey is no longer a straight line. And customers expect a seamless, connected experience from start to finish and throughout the entire customer journey. So, she set out to solve this need and provide brands with the tools they need to give the experience they want. XY Retail is a unified platform built entirely in the cloud that offers everything from point-of-sale, e-commerce, and auto management solutions to data analytics, plug-and-play payments, and even custom applications. They target the high end, luxury fashion/retail sector and their loyal brands actually helped them build the platform. As for their competitive advantage, Susan touts their ability to allow brands to manage absolutely every aspect of their business from their mobile device, as well as the inherent functionality of a full service, one-stop-shop offering.Tune in this week to hear Susan talk about her journey to CEO, where she sees the industry going in the next 2 to 3 years as it relates to a completely touch free and seamless user experience, and the thing she's most passionate about for herself and those she mentors: financial independence enough to free you from social constraints.

In this solo episode we dive into an insidious fear, one that most of us don't think we have, yet it rears it's head when we least expect it.  The Fear of Success. While we can all relate to the fear of failure, public embarrassment, etc.  We don't realize that our dreams and goals may be extinguished by the fear of success. We delve into the phenomena of "Tall Poppie Syndrome" and the "Crabs in a Bucket" mentality. Also referenced (and highly recommended) is the book "Change Your Story, Change Your Life" by Kendra Hall.  This book relates to all obstacles that may keep us from achieving our goals, not just the fear of success. The book "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" by Susan Jeffers, PhD is also referenced.  This book will be revisited frequently in the episodes relating to fears of all kinds. If you have a take-away, or Ah-Ha moment, from this episode,  please share it on your social medial and tag me.  I can be found on Instagram @ cari.normand or on Facebook @ Cari Yocom Normand.  Or email me at beaconsofbravery@gmail.com. I will respond to every comment and would love to have you as a guest if your story can be of service to the BOB audience. Thanks for listening!
