Courage – Page 2

That quote by Dale Carnegie really resonates with me. It’s a great reminder that all the courage we need is already within us.

Believe me, your own profitable online business is within your reach; you just need to exercise the right amount of courage in proportion to the size of the business you desire.

For example, right now my goal is to net $15K per month from a portfolio of online businesses. I currently earn almost half of that working my corporate 9-to-5 job. If I am going to make my online dreams a reality, then I will have to exercise the courage to take action and make it happen.

The same holds true for you.

You’ll require the courage to do that which you have not done before; to venture into uncharted territory; to risk your own investments of time and money.

It will take the courage to do what you truly believe is possible while others think otherwise. It’s the courage to step out on stage and be vulnerable, under the watchful, judging eyes of others.

The bad news is that these fears and risks may never go away completely. And as you reach new levels of success, there will be larger fears to encounter.

The good news is that you already possess all the courage you need to realize your dreams.

An interesting thing about fear is that when you rise with courage to face your own fears, many times you’ll find that there was nothing to fear in the first place. Your perceived fears never stood a chance.

Yes, it’s true that most of us have far more courage that we may know, but unfortunately most choose not to live courageously.

Be different.

There’s a reason why you want to do the uncommon.
Let’s continue to take courageous action on our journey towards owning profitable online business.

Whether you plan to buy an existing business or build one from scratch, there will be challenges, doubts, and fears to overcome.

On this journey you will be required to exercise courage with your actions and decisions. Fortunately, courage is a mental skill that can be conditioned and developed.

You can progressively build up your courage by taking action to conquer smaller fears first. As you overcome these smaller fears, you’ll naturally be able to take on larger ones. Think of it as mental weight training to conquer your fears. Start with the lighter fears first, and then build yourself up to be able to handle the heavy-weight fears.

Understand that you will always have the power to choose to exercise courage over fear. You have the ability to think and take action despite internal or external voices telling you to stay within your own comfort zone.

I couldn’t have said it any better than this:
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

There’s nothing wrong with being scared. The mistake is in allowing your fear to paralyze you from taking any action at all.

Most of Us Have Far More Courage…

It’s OK to be Scared. Do it anyway.
