“Failing doesn’t make you a failure. Giving up does.”
Do you know that almost 30% of American entrepreneurs said that they failed to launch their dream projects merely due to their FEARS?
Quite a number though.
FEAR is a human phenomenon that is natural to every human being, especially for aspiring entrepreneurs. Fear does not make you any less of a human being; neither does it hinder you from succeeding.
With fear comes a lot of uninvited guests i.e. self-doubt, disapproval, cynic approach, grief, and stress of not being able to produce the desired outcome. It can also hinder you from being productive while leading you to the dungeon of doubts.
If you want to flourish your career as an entrepreneur, you need to realize that fear is not decisive itself, but the way you respond and control those fears is what makes you a successful entrepreneur. Here we have penned down 4 fears that most of the entrepreneurs confront. (almost daily!)
1.Fear of being rejected by the people
This could be your biggest fear as an entrepreneur, keeping you away from trying out new things because your targeted buyers won’t be ready to make a purchase.
Fear of rejection is a constant part of an entrepreneurial journey. Not everyone would agree with your business ideas, some would think that it’s crap; others might not listen to you in the first place. But you only need the approval from your audience and the experts in your niche.
To overcome this fear, you need to put yourself in situations where one could reject your product idea. Try to resolve the opposing arguments by intellectually answering them. Learn how to improvise your approach to be more consumer-friendly.
If you keep on listening to the conflicting arguments and keep surrounded by the fear of rejection, you won’t be able to kickstart a successful business.
2.Fear of not having enough resources
You want to kickstart your career as an entrepreneur and have some exciting ideas to work on, but unluckily you don’t have enough capital in your hands. The biggest setback for any entrepreneur maybe!
The fear of not having enough assets to support your business in all situations can be overwhelming and it can even lead you to give up on your business dreams.
But, life doesn’t stop here. It doesn’t have to be. Fortunately, there are many bank schemes offering loans to aspiring entrepreneurs which help them keep going. From smaller to a larger enterprise, these schemes may vary depending upon your needs.
3.Fear of falling down
The fear of failure has made hundreds of entrepreneurs step back from their entrepreneurial ventures. But before putting your dreams aside and giving up on them, don’t forget that no huge business earned success without falling. Successful entrepreneurs don’t think about what people say about them; they never turned their heads down and keep putting in their efforts regardless of failure.
4.Fear of not knowing what to do
Most of the time, when entrepreneurs start their journey, they feel blurred at some stage probably due to the lack of further planning, economic uncertainty, etc. It’s not awful if you are not sure what to do next, how to respond to any certain change or intellectually handle things all the time.
Entrepreneurship is about taking risks, discovering prowess, and combating challenges. The fear of uncertainty is very much common but the one who acknowledges his abilities and fights the doubts remains successful in the dungeon.
You need to be ready to accept every change or uncertainty that comes along the way. The stronger entrepreneurs are resilient, accept the challenges warmly and move forward with confidence.
