Your fear of failure is holding you back. You keep stalling on that new business. You still haven't sent in that job application. And you found a million reasons to avoid publishing that video. Whatever it is, you know you have to take action. You know how to take action, but you just don't because you're afraid to fail. And I get it. I've been there. But failing over and over taught me how to reframe my thinking to get to a place where failure doesn't limit me. It fuels me. Because I wouldn't be running a hundred million dollar a year business today if I listen to fear. So I'm going to share with you what I learned so that you can get rid of your fear of failures. Welcome to the Martel method. I went from rehab at 17 to building a $100 million empire and being a

Wall Street Journal bestselling author. In this podcast, I'll show you exactly how to build a life and

business you don't grow to hate. And make sure you don't miss anything by subscribing to my newsletter

Most people are too busy worrying about their own problems to judge yours and you're making everything seem like a big deal. And the truth is they're living in their own world called me, Inc. It's their movie, their world. They're the main character. And you think they're all paying attention to you? I wish. Trust me. They're not. The people who matter won't judge you. And the people who judge you, they just don't matter. So here's a big reframe. Become a cheerleader, not a critic. Anytime you see somebody do something that you know, scared them, praise them. Go out of their way to share their work.

Go out of your way to support their work. See, the more you become a cheerleader, the less critic you have, the more you'll be inspired to put your own work out there because there's this positive assumption that those people are going to cheer for you. I've got a friend. He's a world-class artist. He's one of the best, and he's afraid to publish his art. Ask me what his favorite activity is.

In the whole wide world, he enjoys doing this one thing, leaving Google reviews

of every place he's visited that day. He brags about it. And no part of them has connected

the fact that leaving those reviews, evaluating other people's businesses, has taught him and caused this fear

that sat in his mind like a seed of doubt of him ever publishing his art for the fear of

criticism or rejection of people not liking his art because he's been doing that to other people.

You fear judgment of the things you judge.

Trust me, everybody's dealing with the fear of failure.

Everybody's dealing with the fear of being judged. And you just got to worry about yourself.

But here's what you might not understand about failure. Winners lose more than losers ever will.

When I look back at my story, I realized that I failed two or three times. I'm talking like real

failure. Not like registered a domain for a

business and it didn't work out. I call those projects. We have dozens of those failures. But most

millionaires I know, almost all of them, had a failed company the first time, the second time it

failed, the third time it didn't work. Finally through that process, they learned how to become

successful.

Walt Disney, Henry Ford, and many others went bankrupt, full financial bankrupt before finding

their big success.
