Our Biggest Business Fears

Make Your Way

In this episode, we share our biggest fears about our businesses. We open up about our fears of failure, fears of dropping the ball, and fears of being trapped on a career path. We talk about challenges of growing sustainably, testing out new skills or services, setting pricing, and dealing with imposter syndrome.

We answer:

• What are our biggest fears for our businesses?
• What does failure mean to us?
• Are we afraid of people not having good opinions of us or our work?

We ask listeners:

• What are the things that you’re afraid of in your professional life? What is the deep rooted thing you’re afraid of that may be affecting your business?
• What are your fears now, and what were they 2 years ago? How have you grown and how have your fears changed?
