subject: How Are You Holding Back? [print this page] Really get quiet and think about the ways you might be holding back in your business. Think about some recent decisions or opportunities that have come your way. How did you respond? Did you have a peace about it or did you replay it again and again in your mind? If haven't let it go, it's probably a sign that you were holding back in some way. Think about that and let yourself go deeper into that thought. Think about where those feelings are coming from. Are they based in the fear of something? Not having enough money, not having enough experience, the unknown? Fear can disguise itself in so many ways but the outcome is always the same when you give into it, you shrink from your potential. Get clear on the source for that fear and look it straight on. Make the decision right then to not let that stop you or hold you back. Once you are aware of the source, that awareness will be with your forever and you can choose to give into the fear or move through it. Owning a business is all about moving forward in faith. Let your decision process be grounded in what matters and then don't hold back - move forward with confidence and faith that the outcome is exactly what it is supposed to be.
