Is Your Fear Of Not Enough Holding You Back?

​I’m not sure what you think is holding you back from launching your speaking empire. You may have a million excuses. It would take too long to list them all here.

Perhaps you think you need another degree, more money, work fewer hours, or whatever it is. Guess what? I can narrow all the excuses to one word. The word is… FEAR!

The reality is, if you knew for certain you could not fail, you would take the risk. You would step out and launch your speaking, training, and coaching empire.

Now, the big question is what’s driving your fear? I’m willing to bet; your greatest fear is that you are not good enough.

Somehow, you have a sense of inadequacy. Some insecurities are holding you back. Can you identify?

You might think you need more information. You need to read more books; attend more seminars, or enroll in one more online course.

The reality is, you don’t need anything else. You are more than enough. The world doesn’t need more information. What people need is more clarity, encouragement, and tough love.

More importantly, the world needs your authentic self. They want to experience you just the way you are. I’m sure you’ve been through some experiences.

You learned some lessons. You figured out a few things. That’s why I say you are good enough to start.

People are experiencing information overload. Think about it this way:

We are drowning in a sea of information. Yet, we are starving for wisdom and clarity.

We are drowning in a sea of information. Yet, we are starving for wisdom and clarity.

You see, everyone suffers from the not-enough syndrome. You would be stunned to know the people with millions of fans and millions of dollars you admire have the same problem.

They wake up sometimes and feel like frauds or imposters. They don’t feel like they are making a significant difference. That’s without exception.

I heard mega celebrity Dustin Hoffman talking about times when he feels inadequate.

In fact, he said everyone in Hollywood experiences that same emotion. Would you think someone like Oprah Winfrey never feels insecure, right? Well, think again.

Here’s the point I’m trying to make:If you are waiting until you get rid of your insecurity or not-enough fear so you can start making a difference, you will never start.
