The Truth About Taking Action (Even When You’re Scared)
We've been told for so long: "Don’t put yourself out there." "People will talk about you." "What if you fail?" But here’s the TRUTH: The only real failure is not taking action at all. I used to think I needed all the answers before I started. But that’s not how SUCCESS works! You DON'T need to know everything. You just need to know ENOUGH to start. Mistakes are part of the process, and you make them, the faster you learn. How We're Trained to Fear Mistakes: Think about school: - You're taught the material. - You take a test. - If you fail, you’re punished with a bad grade, but no one teaches you how to fix it. So you START avoiding mistakes altogether… and stop taking action. That mindset sticks with us. But in business? Mistakes = Growth Mistakes = Learning Mistakes = Wisdom When I first started flipping houses, I had no idea what I was doing. I hired a plumber and they cut corners. I hired an electrician and they made mistakes. Then the building inspector came in and he tore it apart. I could have quit, but instead, I LEARNED. I BUILT skills. I STACKED those skills. What’s one thing you’ve been holding back on because you were afraid to fail and what would happen if you just went for it anyway?
