KEY TAKEAWAYS

Points which can really help you deal with your fears, embrace your fears and even master your fears in building a property portfolio or business or taking some risks.

Number one is that a lot of people feel like fear is something that they've got to get rid of when in reality, if we think about it in a little bit more depth and without our emotion, you realize that fear actually does serve a very important purpose. The purpose of fear regarding your business, your property portfolio, your start-up, your scale-up is to protect you from making rational decisions, is to preserve what you've already built and is to keep you humble to want to learn and grow and continue to develop your product and service in the marketplace.
The second thing is if we're honest, you can leverage fear. When you feel really good, you can build momentum and you can get sort of this speed and you can feel like things are going your way, but actually, when you do things well, you don't normally sit there and painstakingly analyze what went well and why it went so well and how to make sure it goes well next time, usually we only do that when things don't go well, so the fear and the difficulties that we face actually give us energy in order to fix problems to solve meaningful challenges and situations.
The third thing is it forces you to care, to serve and to solve. If you have no fear in your business, then you wouldn't care as much about your clients, about your reputation, you wouldn't want to sort out complaints and want to make sure that your products and services are the best that they could possibly be any better than your competition, you wouldn't desire to solve your clients, followers and fans problem if you didn't have fear.
The fourth thing is it simply control growth. Fear stops us going too big, too hard and too fast because when you go too big, too hard and too fast, everything breaks.
The fifth thing is also to get you to seek what’s underneath the fear.
Number six then is that the fear in business forces you to grow and because it forces you to be better, do better, serve, fix and prepares you for a higher level.
Number seven is getting mentors and finding masterminds and having people around you, a network of individuals who are either further ahead of you, or at least on the same level because you can feel misunderstood, you can feel alone, you can feel you want to talk to people who will give you their free advice.

BEST MOMENTS

“Fear. Fear is vital to stop us doing silly things that would negate ourselves.”
"If you don't grow and progress, then ultimately you're going to be outmanoeuvred by your competition."
“If you have no fear to drive you, to progress, to innovate, to be better, then you would essentially just rot and decay very slowly.”
“Purposes of fear are to protect yourself, your business, your empire, to preserve what you've built, and to keep you humble, to grow, to innovate, to develop and to evolve.”
“When you go too big, too hard and too fast, everything breaks.”
“Reward for the bigger challenges is the bigger payoff, the bigger brand or the bigger reputation or whatever it is that you're seeking.”
“If you don't risk anything, you risk everything.”
