A short motivational talk by Blair Singer describing a rapid technique to overcome fear—especially in sales situations—by quickly recalling and physically/mentally anchoring a past success to restore confidence and take action within about 30 seconds.
Hi, this is Blair Singer, author of Little Voice Mastery. How to Win the War between youn ears in 30 seconds or less. One of the tech. We talked about some techniques. One of the techniques is how to stand in the face of fear. You know, fear can be a big demotivator. It can SAP your confidence, create unreasonable doubt. You know, some people say fear stands for false evidence appearing real half the times. A lot of the things that you're facing isn't even really going to happen. Some of the consequences you think might happen, whether it's talking to your boss or trying to raise capital or trying to make a sales call or approach the future love of your life, whatever it is, fear comes up. So how do you overcome that? Because you need to overcome it quickly, particularly in a sales call. Because if not, you're. Your window of opportunity moves by pretty quickly. So the solution to that, one of the techniques is being able to, at the time of fear, being able to recall a time in your past when you had a success. That's called an anchor. A boat anchor keeps a boat in place. So we have positive anchors up here, we have negative anchors up here, which are positive or negative experiences from our past. The key is to be able to recall quickly a time of success from the past. Anchor it physically, mentally, emotionally. Anchor it at that moment through a memory, through a physical gesture. So then your energy immediately comes back up. You can pick up the phone and make the call. Fear can stop people for years. One technique can eliminate it. For the 30 seconds you need to get the job done.
