8 . Managing Your Fears
Every human being on the face of the planet has experienced fear in some form or another . I ’ d even be
willing to bet you that every animal , insect , rodent , and every winged creature as well , has experienced fear . Fear definitely has a useful place in our lives . Its purpose is as an early warning system ­ to alert us about possible dangers so that we can modify our path and create a solution to eliminate the danger . Fear was never meant to scare us into nonaction .
Here ’ s an interesting idea . I believe that there is a purpose for every living creature on earth . Beavers build dams , humans solve problems . If you take a careful look around , you ’ ll see a whole lot of stuff that was created by the human species . If you look deeper , you ’ ll find that the purpose of each one of these inventions was to solve a problem .
It has been said that we learn better by doing , rather than by reading . In other words , at some point , you ’ re going to have to get out there and get your feet wet ­ you ’ re going to have to get started . I know , I know … It ’ s scary . Whenever you launch into something so big and significant that it can change your life , you ’ re going to get a little scared . Here ’ s a good way to handle your fears :
This solution to handling your fears is so simple that even I was able to master it . First of all , arm yourself with an abundance of knowledge about the situation . Be careful not to over­analyze the situation . You only need enough facts to make an intelligent decision . If you have a fear of writing your first offer , you may have to pick up a book , or take a seminar . You might have to make a bunch of copies and practice writing offers . Do what ever you have to do in order to arm yourself with the knowledge that you need . Then , keeping the WIN principle in mind , you simply take action . Isn ’ t that simple ? It really is . The one antidote for fear is action . Intelligent , systematic action will not only make fear disappear , it can also make you rich .
