If you are an aspiring storyteller, you will have fears on the way. And here are 3 fears that may cripple you on your journey. Knowing them can help you get ahead. So what are those 3 fears? Number 1 is fear of being judged. When you start telling stories and you become a public speaker, there will be people who will judge you. So that is the first fear you will encounter. Number 2 is fear of being found out. You will start having those imposter syndrome. You will feel that or think that people are finding out that you are not good enough. And number 3, which is linked to the second one, is the fear of not being good enough. Even if you deliver a great story, inside you will feel that, okay, maybe this was not the best, man. Maybe this could have been much, much better. Those fear will cripple your journey. So what's the solution? Acknowledge and still take massive action.
