Fear is not a popular word you will hear about in a good way in the business world. Everyone is looking for a way to conquer it or survive it. But after over a decades in business, I have learned something different - fear is not your enemy. It's your best partner.
That's what every entrepreneur and investors understands. The one moment before you development a new product. The day you are about to break your news. The first time you invest real money into crypto. Fear comes knocking every single time.
Fear is your own defense mechanism. It's that little voice inside that tells you to recheck the address of your wallet. That feeling that makes you read a project thoroughly before investing in it. That feeling that tells you "ah, maybe we need to look at this code again."
Fear gives actionable feedback to your business. When you are scared of rolling out a new products or integrating with a new protocol, it's because you care about the success. Fear tells you clearly what matters most.
Fear keeps your business game sharp. Without fear, people get rekt for being stupid. Every time you're scared but you still do it anyway; posting that controversial post, subscribing to that new feature, investing that big money, you level up.
Here is one important fact; faith and fear both exist in business. Faith makes you ape into new things. Fear makes you not to become liquidity for others. That's a perfect balance.
Fear makes you think better. Makes you check your research multiple times. Forcing you to think about your plans. When you use fear as information instead of an obstacle, it turns from FUD to strength.
The real OGs in crypto and business aren't not afraid. They are brave. They feel the fear but won't let it stops them. Instead, they use it to move forward more strategically.
Next time fear shows up ahead of a big move, welcome it. Your best business ally has arrived to help you win. Listen to what it says and then do your thing. To feel afraid doesn't mean you are doing it wrong. Usually means you're about to do something big.
Stop trying to eliminate fear. Partner with it, rather. Use it to help you build something great. That is where real growth happens; not by eliminating fear, but by harnessing it for energy. Because in the end, the people who achieve it aren't the fearlessness specialists. They're the ones who discovered how to make fear work for them.
