Fear is a byproduct of lack of repetition. The more times you try something the easier it becomes. The more skills you develop and the more trust you earn in the process. The first skydive is hard, but by the 10th jump you know what to expect and can enjoy the ride (that is if you enjoy skydiving). So goes anything that is hard. So goes life. – Dad
The Japanese say you have three faces. The first face, you show to the world. The second face, you show to your close friends, and your family. The third face, you never show anyone. It is the truest reflection of who you are. – Japanese Proverb
I was talking shop with a friend this morning when he mentioned he’d begun taking anxiety meds over the fear of “what if’s” sinking his company. While certainly being supportive in his feelings I posed the idea that perhaps its the daily “what if’s” that make us as entrepreneurs successful. While forward thinking can lead to frazzled nerves it also makes for smart planning and situational awareness. Two very important factors when it comes to long term financial success. Remember, what scares you can also serve you if reflected in the proper light. – Dad
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs
Sometimes you just get beat. Sometimes the other guys are just better. It’s not personal. Don’t dwell on the loss. Nothing you can do other than dust yourself off and come back tomorrow. – Dad
