The Day I Knew I Could Launch A Membership Site
Like most people before gaining experience I have fear about my capabilities. As you grow you become more confident and thankfully confidence transfers across a whole range of activities in your life. Unfortunately the opposite is true too – if you don’t feel confident in general, then you don’t feel confident doing anything new to you.
It’s a lot easier to accept your fear when you don’t attach your ego to the outcome you want. If you want to achieve something and it relates to something very important – like for example, starting an Internet business and doing well enough that you can quit your job – the fear of failure is so extreme that it can bend your perception of reality. It can be so bad that your subsequent poor mindset as a result of the fear will guarantee the outcome you are so fearful of – failure. That’s a nasty catch 22 situation.
For a long time I was fearful of selling my own products online. I knew I could do it in terms of creating a product, but the fear was whether I could actually help people and whether people would buy from me. No doubt this is common for every person before they release a product of their own creation.
The day I became a lot more confident was the day I experienced someone else’s product similar to what I wanted to create.
In my case, it was making the decision to join Rich Schefren’s Business Growth System, which led me to find the confidence to believe I could launch a membership site too.
