On a normal day 4 years ago, my husband Michael and I realized we weren’t living the life we wanted to live. We were living a boring life! So, on a hot weekend in July, we started a new life.

The Idea of going forward with a real business Idea is fearful to me; however thinking of not doing it is fearful as well. I guess one Fear has me running towards something; the other running away from. Maybe Fear is a big word though – I might rather call it (for me) – the Great Uncomfortableness.
I totally agree, Michael! Good way to put it.
It actually does. I can strongly relate to what Michael Wright said – I fear failing to do what I set out to in order to help my family and fulfill God’s call on my life – but sometimes I fear succeeding almost as much. It seems pretty crazy – but it’s the truth.
Right, Ann. The fear of NOT doing what’s on our hearts can be just as scary as the thing itself.

The fear is definitely there… I feel I’m pressing forward and trying new waters out all the time, and I’ll be honest I do stretch my comfort zone quite a bit, so it’s no easy picnic. However, I’ve learned to leverage it and let it fuel me to push harder. I think fear is a vital component to success.
Way to use it to your advantage, Rob! Steven Pressfield talks about that in “War of Art.”
