10 Tips to Beat Fear and Succeed in Work, Business and Life

how to beat fear

You want to wake up in the morning, do great work, and receive extra pay, praise, and promotion. You want to build a business, get customers, and increase your profit, revenue, or ROI. You want to be smarter, richer, and become happier, healthier, and more successful.

But deep down, something is holding you back. It’s fear; we all have it. Anytime we plan to do something, the fear—like a vampire—sucks away our will power, making us unable to do what matters. How do you beat your fear and succeed in work, business, and life?

Here are ten tips to help you beat fear and succeed in anything you do:

1. Face your fear

If you allow your fears to dominate your heart, you won’t become the Lion you want to be. Rather, you’ll keep justifying your deeds, making flimsy excuses, blaming others for your inaction, and procrastinating over important goals.

Those are all a by-product of your fears, and they won’t let you succeed in your work, business, or life. The only remedy for fear is to face it. First, acknowledge that it exists within you, and then face it head on and move on with your life.

2. Beat procrastination

Procrastination is actually a type of fear. You don’t want to kick-start that business, because you’re afraid that it might fail. You don’t want to continue with that project, because you’re intimidated by its difficulty. You repeatedly postpone running that marathon, because it’s going to be so exhausting.

But you have to act now or regret it later. If you fail to do what you need to do on time, missing that deadline might cost you your career, your customer, or your character. So quit procrastinating if you’re serious about achieving success in life.

3. Discover your passion

We all have unique talents hidden inside us, but unless we dig deep into our psyche and uncover them, those talents and passions, will be a waste. The Jobs, the Musks, and the Zuckerbergs are where they are today because they uncovered their passion and rebranded it into powerful, profitable products.

You have a natural talent but it’s up to you to find it and optimize it and put it into use. Don’t be afraid. You need to dig deep. I promise you It’s there.  When you find it, there’s no limit to what you’ll achieve in your career, your business, and your life.

“Follow your own passion—not your parents’, not your teachers’—yours.” – Robert Ballard

4. Show up early

Richard Branson wakes at 5:45 am, Tim Cook rises at 3:45 am, and Howard Schultz gets up at 4:30 am. Why do all of these successful entrepreneurs begin their days so early? Because they want to get there first and beat the latecomers.

Learn from these great minds. Show up early—ahead of your colleagues, competitors, and co-workers. Doing this will always put you at the forefront. And being first is a positive sign of success.

5. Grind

You might think that success is a cheap product. Have an idea, run it, and you achieve success. Well, that’s not the case.

The road to success is patched with countless bumps, roadblocks, and tons of hard work and failures. Successful entrepreneurs, athletes, real estate developers, they’re all hard-working folks. They work day in and day out. They hustle and they grind first before they achieve success.

You want to reach the top level of your career? Grind. You want to become the next success story? Grind.  You want to become a “hot” celebrity in your industry? Grind.

6. Do quality work

It’s not about just doing work. It’s not about accomplishing many projects. It’s not about finishing your work fast. It’s about doing quality work. Quality work is what earns you respect, builds your reputation, accelerates your career, and elevates you higher than anyone else.

7. Give people what they want

It doesn’t matter if you’re nobody in your industry or just starting out as a newbie, if you give people what they want—quality products or incredible service, or just relate to them in a civilized way—they’ll reciprocate.

They’ll like you, they’ll buy from you and they’ll become your sales rep, telling their friends and family about you. They’ll possibly make you rich and they’ll help you transform lives and change our world for the better.

8. Be honest

You just have to be honest if you want to be a successful person. Here’s the naked truth: People are smarter than you think.

You may get away with your deceitful behavior once or twice, but once your colleague or customer realizes that you’re a cheat, you’re done. They’ll fling you into the nearest dumpster and they will never, ever restore you back into their life again.

“Be honest, be nice, be a flower not a weed.” – Aaron Neville

9. Be confident

First, it’s the antidote to fear. Part of what you must do to beat fear or even procrastination, is to develop self-confidence. Believe in yourself, face your fears, and do the work that matters.

Second, it’s the key to success. Part of what you must do to survive and thrive in your work, business, and life is to develop confidence. It clears up your doubt and pushes you to go do the work that the naysayers say you can’t do.

10. Stay positive

Ordinary people are negative people. They always gossip, backbite, and try to see the negative side of others. This is bad and dangerous.

Why? Because our actions are a true reflection of our thoughts. That means that a negative mindset always begets negative outcomes, while a positive mindset always begets a positive outcome.

Conclusion

Imagine waking up in the morning, doing great work, and receiving the benefits from that. Imagine you build your business, expand your customer base, and boost your profit, revenue, and ROI. Imagine further that you’ve become smarter, richer, and more successful.

Instead of losing energy when you face a new project, you actually conquer it with strong willpower. All because you’ve beaten your fears and your procrastination habit. More importantly, you’ve developed self-confidence, done great work, and stayed positive.  

You’ve got your roadmap—now all you need to do is follow it. Your dreams—succeeding at your workplace, in your business, or in your life await.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

Published

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
