Welcome to the Art of Online Business Podcast. My name is Rick Mulready, and I'm an online

business coach, Facebook and Instagram ads expert, lifestyle entrepreneur, and I'm a total

coffee snob as well. Each week, you're going to learn actionable strategies, mindsets, and tips that take the

guesswork out of growing and scaling a profitable online business so that you can truly

become an entrepreneur with impact.

This podcast is your secret weapon for fast-tracking the growth of your online business. Let's do this.

What's up, my friends? Welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in today.

Today's another quick tip episode. And today I want to talk about failing. Talk about failure.

Are you afraid to fail? Most people are, including me. And over the last

couple of years, I've realized that fear of failure is the biggest thing holding my business back

from impacting more people and growing to a level that I know it will.

Not an ad strategy, not a funnel, not sales page copy, not team or whatever it is,

the fear of failure.

Now, why does fear of failure stifle the growth in your business?

Because I talk to so many people, a lot of entrepreneurs that

you would know if I started listening to them out that have a fear of failure, have a fear of it

all going away. And again, this is something that's been fresh for me. Because when you're

afraid of failing, what do you do? You likely freeze for anything like me,

and you do nothing. And you play small. You play not to lose instead of playing to win.

Here's what I've learned through this awareness. What if failing is exactly what you need to do

in order to grow your business more quickly.

I'm going to repeat that.
