Fear and Self-Doubt on the Entrepreneurial Path

I remember it so clearly: I was about six months into starting my business. I felt like I’d been trying the same things over and over for months and not getting results. There was overwhelm, frustration and fear – could I really do this?

I sat with my husband and said to him, “This is just so, so hard. I had no idea it would be this hard.” At that moment, I somehow realized that because I was so passionate about the work, I’d expected the early entrepreneurial path to be all euphoria and fun. It wasn’t.

Part of what makes it difficult to be in those early stages of the entrepreneurial path is all the fear and self-doubt that comes up.

Can I do this?

Will my work measure up?

What if I fail – in front of everyone?

What if I can’t make this work financially?

What if no one wants what I have to offer?

More deeply, I think fear and self-doubt arise for us as entrepreneurs for beautiful reasons.

When we choose to do work that taps into our particular callings or gifts, we care more how it goes and what other people think of us. It’s more personal. It’s more vulnerable.

So of course more fear and more self-doubt come up.

I have made it my life’s work for the past decade to help women move past fear and self-doubt swiftly and powerfully.

It turns out there really are ways to do this. There are concepts for understanding the “what” and “why” of fear and self-doubt that help us to be empowered around it.

There are simple, easy-to-use tools for fear and self-doubt that allow us to move out of it.

I’m proud that my approach to working with the fear and self-doubt that come with playing bigger has been so embraced by thousands of women around the world. This approach has even been featured in outlets like Harvard Business Review, goop and The New York Times because it’s so distinctive and useful.

In our B-School bonus sessions, we’ll focus on this topic and learn how to move past fear and self-doubt. Without knowing this approach, all the tactical training we get around business can’t be fully used because fear and self-doubt will keep us from implementing it.

Marie Forleo’s B-School registration is open for just a few more days!
