Is fear keeping you from getting started?

Many of us are held back by fear. It may be the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of the unknown, or many other fears that keep us from succeeding at starting a business and succeeding in life.

Some of the most successful people you can think of have had to overcome their fears in order to reach the heights they did. The Clerical Business blog has some quotes from some of those people that you may find interesting.

One of my biggest fears was public speaking. For many years I could not get up even in front of a couple of people and talk. I joined Toastmasters and found every opportunity I could to get up and talk in front of people. While I still get nervous when I talk in front of people, I no longer allow that fear to control my actions.

So what is it you fear and how are you going to overcome it?
