If you want to overcome the fears that will hold you back from achieving the success you really want...
Then this will be the most important message you will ever read.
We’re going to show you how to overcome some of the most common fears that almost everyone experiences at some point.
So let’s get to it!
#1. FEAR OF RISK
For some reason, our minds lead us to think that the familiar is usually the best way to live.
It’s crazy, isn’t it? Even though we’re not happy with our situation, our natural tendency is to prefer the way things are over what we can make it.
We don’t like being uncomfortable. Some people call it being pushed outside our “comfort zone.”
Here’s the way I look at it...
In today’s world, we have the tools, resources, and education right at our fingertips to accomplish anything.
And with the way Wall Street is looking, it seems to be a bigger risk to live according to their rules. The old ways of planning for retirement just aren't working anymore.
When you look at it, that retirement security that so many people search for isn’t so secure after all!
So don’t let your fear of risk hold you back. Because you’re probably not really risking that much to try and achieve your goals and dreams.
Try and remember that those risks are mostly your natural reaction to change.
Put them in perspective and you’ll be able to master those feelings once and for all!
#2. FEAR OF FAILURE
Let’s get this out of the way right now...
Failure in investing does NOT mean you are a failure as a person.
So what if you fail with an investment?!
It’s not the end of the world. In fact, you should use failure as a learning opportunity:
What mistakes were made, and how can you prevent them next time?
How can you change the course of the investment to make it a success?
Everyone knows about Michael Jordan’s success.
But here is what he says about his failures:
“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Listen... the cost of beginning as an investor is so low, you can get in and try it without risking your life savings.
Besides, you’re not on your own. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel yourself. Just follow someone who has been successful and copy their systems. That’s what the 4 Pillars of Investing is all about. I give you an important foundation because I know it has worked for me and others.
Finally, never forget that failure is not permanent.
Just pick yourself up and start again!
#3. FEAR OF NOT BEING PERFECT
If you’re the type of person who thinks that something has to be perfect before you actually take action... which means that you NEVER push yourself to actually make an investment... you’re not alone.
Trust us... I suffered from that same dilemma.
As some point, you just need to get over your potential embarrassment and say, “To heck with everyone, I’m doing this!”
Your job isn’t to be perfect. No one expects you to be perfect.
You just need to learn as much as you can... make smart investing decisions based on your education... and then learn from your mistakes.
Here’s the BOTTOM LINE:
There are a million things to be afraid of.
But you possess something more powerful than all of those fears...
Your desire to succeed!
Continually remind yourself that those fears you have inside are totally artificial.
Take the leap toward your goals and you’ll begin to leave those fears in the dust!
