Why is Fear setting crucial for yourself and your business?

Why is it so important to know your fears and write them down?
Fundamentally, Fear Setting is a three-page checklist of your fears and the probable results of action and the lack of action. It is a strategy that will help you to overcome obstacles.

In last week's post, we talked about the importance of setting your SMART goals to help you to create a clear vision of your business. Fear setting runs in the same direction. Your fear checklist enables you to visualise all the bad things that could happen to you, so you anticipate the feelings and are less afraid of taking action. It is a way to get your brain to swap the unknown into a recognisable barrier.

Some people believe that Fear Setting and Goals Setting are the opposite. Actually, they are complementary.

Fear-Setting guides you in a way you can predict WHEN to make a much-needed decision about WHAT to do next. It pushes you, and subsequently, whether you are afraid of risking or not, you will take action towards the results (goals).

In both business and personal life, fear-setting helps you see the reality of the situation more clearly to make the best decision. Can you see how compatible with 'Setting a Goal' it is?

Try to visualise the worst-case scenario that you are worried about. Imagine you conquering that barrier. It is crucial to imagine you overcoming the situation. Write it down.

Then you will create your FEAR SETTING list.  

This brain exercise would move you from inertia to action. Let's run through the 3 crucial steps to creating your list:

• Define — What are the worst things that could happen?
• Prevent — How do I prevent each from happening?
• Repair — If the worst happens, how can I fix it?

Tell us, what are you afraid of?
