Donald Burns argues that fear of failure, the unknown, and change is what holds people back. Fear thrives when you avoid it, but shining a light on it removes its power to keep you stuck.
Fear is the biggest obstacle standing your way. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, fear of change. It's all holding you back. But here's the thing about fear. It's only powerful if you let it be powerful. Fear thrives in the dark. It grows when you ignore it, when you avoid it. But when you face it head on, when you shine a light on it, fear loses its power. You can't let fear keep you stuck.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
