What’s stopping you from starting your dream business?

For most people, it’s fear.

Fear of failure, financial loss, looking foolish—or even fear of success.

In this episode, we break down the most common fears entrepreneurs face and share actionable strategies to overcome them.

 

Learn how to:

✅ Do the research that calms fear of the unknown.

✅ Test your idea with quick, low-cost experiments.

✅ Build financial and emotional safety nets.

✅ Surround yourself with mentors, advisors, and co-founders.

✅ Start small and “act as if” you’re already a founder.

 

Your entrepreneurial journey doesn’t have to be terrifying. Take the first step today—because hope isn’t a strategy, but action is.
