Fear is debilitating…

It eats at your

confidence!

It tears at your strengths and it

makes your weaknesses palpable.

Fear makes us vulnerable!

So what are you doing to Overcome the Fears that lurk in your mind about your Business and it’s

Potential?

Page 8: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

Let me illustrate with a story…

The day my husband was teaching our daughter how

to body board.

Page 9: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

There was one wave that was a little bigger. My daughter rode it victoriously until another wave came

following quickly behind.

Page 10: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

…And Panic Set In!

It overtook her board and her little body.

She tumbled to the shore.

She was tossed in the confusion of it all.

She grasped for the strength to stand up.

Page 11: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

As we rinsed her sand filled hair and suit with buckets of water and calmed her nerves she exclaimed that

there was NO way she was going back on the bodyboard – EVER!

Page 12: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

We gently told her she would never have to go back on the bodyboard.

It was her choice.

But we tried to help her remember that she had enjoyed it before.

Page 13: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

Just like my little girl, WE CAN RIDE THE WAVES OF SUCCESS IN OUR BUSINESSESS, little and big.

Page 14: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

We can experience triumphs and set backs; or call them failures.

But the one thing that truly defines our business…

it’s potential

it’s successit’s growth

Is how we Face the Fear …

Page 15: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

For a time,Our daughter drew back and resigned herself to building sand castles and playing in the sand.

As I helped her,I noticed that she began again to watch the children and families out playing in the waves.

Page 16: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

She had, of course,

experienced successes

there in the waves many times before.

She knew what it felt

like.

I could tell she was

yearning for the

experience again and she could see that others were

succeeding at it too.

Page 17: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

In her simple little way, she stood up, marched

to the edge of the water, flailed her arms high up in the air and loudly and

boldly decreed: “I am not afraid of anything!”

Her little mind was formulating her future.

Page 18: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

She got her board and

was out with her dad once

again until she

rediscovered the joy of

being out in the waves

with a board and her dad.

Page 19: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

She had some gentle coaxing and encouragement from family, much like we receive from colleagues

and other in business.

She realized the power of facing her fears BEFORE she fed them for TOO long.

At the time, my daughter was 4 years old.

Page 20: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

So, whatever your fears are that are holding you back, remember this

young girl.

Take strength from her decision to face her fears and apply it in

your own life.

Page 21: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

Your business WILL have a future, a powerful future, if you will stand up and face those things that are fearful to you.

If you don’t have the confidence, then find it in your support systems.

Page 22: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

If you don’t find it there, move on until you find a group of like-minded strengthening

supporters.

Page 23: Small Business Marketing fears- What Are You So Afraid Of?

You will be victorious when you resolve not to stay in the sand!

Grab that bull by the horns and hang on for the ride.

Rock those fears. Face them.

Now go forth and MAXthat!
