Fear has always been my weakness. Fear is such a stupid emotion as it is based on perception of what might happen, rather than the reality of what has happened.
Fear is often the key reason why people don't embrace social media as part of their brand strategy - fear of negative feedback, fear of the technology, fear of messing up etc
Well I was taught a really cool lesson when I was a "professional amateur" at golf. I hated short putts, I was a great hitter of the ball but hated a 2 foot putt. A wise older lady who I often practiced with said this to me
"Anna if you are so convinced that you are going to miss....what are you frightened of? You can miss confidently!"
What was cool, was that this phrase stayed with me and suddenly I wasn't scared. Amazingly, now I was confident that I would miss....I started to hole out all the time! Once I started putting well, I started not to fear....weird
When I started out many years ago on social media, I was scared too....still am in a way....but now with my weird mind I remember that lady's lesson and have a go anyway!
....I will at least fail confidently :)
And you know the more I try the more successes I have along the way.
