Hey, hey, you're listening to the Life Coach School podcast with Brookestio episode number five.

Welcome to the Life Coach School podcast where it's all about real clients, real problems and real coaching.

And now your host, Master Coach Instructor Brookestio.

Hey, everyone. It's Brookestio. Really happy that you're here today.

I am going to be talking to you about fear of all the topics I discuss.

This is probably the most common.

And what's cool and interesting about talking about fear and overcoming fear is that most of us don't talk about it.

And when we do, we talk about it as if it's just a given.

Like, I'm just afraid to do that. Therefore, that's a valid reason not to do something.

And what I want to offer is that fear is not a valid reason for not doing something.

It's not a valid reason for not taking action.

And in fact, fear is just a mismanaged mind. That's all it really is.

It just reflects that you're not managing your mind properly.

Now, a lot of people say that we should honor our fear and we should take into account our fear and, you know, cuddle our fear.

And I'm all for feeling fear. I think that it's one of those emotions that most of us don't feel.

And I'm going to talk about that in a second.

But I do not think that it is a reason or a valid excuse for not doing our work in the world.

I asked students of mine why they aren't taking action on their businesses, with their clients, with their websites.

And they tell me, oh, the reason is because I'm afraid of failure as if that's a valid reason.

Or I'm afraid of success. Look, it's fine.

It's fine to be afraid of success. It's fine to be afraid of failure.

But you're going to need to do it anyway.
