Here are some simple tips to help rid yourself of Fear and Doubt. These are principles I’ve learned over the last couple of years from various mentors I’ve worked with and in my own studies and experience. I hope you find them as helpful as I have.

1. Realize fear is just your ego self trying to protect you. The next time you hear silly thoughts in your head like “I can’t do this’’ or “Why should I put out an e-zine? Who is going to listen to ME?’’ or something like “I’ll never make much money at what I’m doing. I’m just not as good as ____________( insert whomever you are comparing yourself to)’’ realize that these thoughts are just NOT TRUE.
2. Recognize doubt as just another false or limiting belief and ignore it. The next time you doubt yourself and your abilities work quickly to label it the false and limiting belief it is. Once more, it’s just your ego trying to protect you. It doesn’t want you to get hurt. Unfortunately when we listen to our ego selves and the false messages it tells us we get hurt even more.
3. Know that you are on this planet to make a difference in the world and to share the special gifts and talents you were born with, your Unique Brilliance, to the world. We were all born on this earth for a positive purpose and to love others and to help them heal. Embrace this fact and revel in knowing you DO have a special message, a special gift the world needs to hear and that the world WANTS to hear. I am convinced there is an audience for anyone of us who wants to get “out there’’ and help others no matter what business they are in and no matter how many people there are already seemingly doing the same thing. These other people aren’t YOU! : D
4. Realize that every time you “buy into fear and doubt’’ you are not living in your own power and you’re actually “hiding out.”I’d never heard of the term hiding out until a year and a half ago and only recognized I was hiding out a little over a year ago. I was hiding out because I thought I needed to learn more (even though I already KNEW PLENTY to help whom I needed to help). I thought I needed to buy more programs (when I had PLENTY of information products on my office shelves already) and so on. When you’re hiding out as I was you aren’t living in your power and delivering what you are called to give to the world.
5. When fears and doubts crop up in your head say “Thank-you, I appreciate your trying to protect me, but I know I can do this.’’ And then let it go. Don’t try to fight the silly thoughts (as I like to call them!). When they creep into your mind. just say “Thank-You for this” let it go and replace it with a positive thought. Seriously, it’s as simple as that. It takes practice but that’s all there is to it.
6. Decide you will only listen to thoughts in your head that are positive and uplifting. Once more this is a discipline. It’s a discipline you can master with time and practice. Luckily as you start to do this it becomes easier and easier. We’ll never be perfect at it BUT it’s so much better than listening to the negative, limiting thoughts that keep you stuck.

Write down in present tense every day a one sentence goal for your business you most want to achieve. Write your goal down once a day and believe you will achieve it. I write down 12-15 juicy goals a day and I promise you the process works. By having a goal or goals you want to achieve in your business you will be more aware of limiting and false beliefs such as fear and doubt crop up into your mind so you can ignore them and move onto your next level faster.
