For god sake … if you are going to be in business have some courage. Without it you will die.
Firefighters are the people running into a fire when everyone else is running out.
They’re being brave and courageous, but that’s not the same as saying they aren’t scared.
Whenever you go on a call you never know what you’re going to get until you’re there. Will this be a false alarm or the big one? Adrenaline runs for a reason and that is to prepare you for the job ahead. A healthy amount of fear keeps you safe.
As I am sure you have heard before … Courage isn’t not being scared, it’s being scared but doing it anyway.
Nothing could be more true in business. Successful people have a plan, and a healthy amount of fear, but do it anyway.
Less successful people spend all their time preparing; they worry about loosing the house but in the end do nothing. They attempt to remove all risk, but that isn’t possible, and dare I say it, doing nothing has its own risk.
My question to you is … What one thing should you do tomorrow that just needs you to go for it?

Ok … this story is a little “obvious”, that however doesn’t make it any less important.
