Putting Fear and Self-Doubt to Work for You
By Sabrina Schleicher, Ph.D.
When I ask my coaching clients what keeps them from going for what they really want, time and time again, I hear “fear” and “self-doubt.” Fear and self-doubt are the biggest obstacles that we place in our own paths.
Perhaps you fear failing. Have you ever avoided setting a goal for yourself just because you feared you would be disappointed in yourself for not achieving that goal? That fear of failure alone is preventing you from having the success you desire. The irony is that if you never actually set the goal, you certainly won’t achieve it. In essence, you have failed yourself by not trying.
