Summary
The Courage Gap - Overcoming fear and self-doubt to take bold action in your business and life.
Show Notes Page: https://www.thehowofbusiness.com/564-margie-warrell-courage-gap/
Dr. Margie Warrell joins Henry Lopez to explore how fear often holds small business owners back—not because of what they can't do, but because of what they aren't doing.
Margie's latest book, The Courage Gap, unpacks how entrepreneurs and professionals can close the gap between their potential and their current actions by rewiring how they think, behave, and react to fear.
She shares a 5-step framework for braver action, addresses how to navigate imposter syndrome, and emphasizes the importance of learning from failure rather than being defined by it.
