Fear is activated in the most primitive part of the brain – the reptilian brain. It signals danger. In life and death situations, fear is an important survival mechanism to act quickly, mobilizing strength, courage and power we never thought we had.

In most situations, however, fear is a serious liability. When fear runs you, you can’t see its control over you. It impairs thinking, paralyzes decision-making and drives reactionary behavior.

To shift from fear to fearlessness, you must first get rigorously honest about how fear may be running you right now.

• What fears about your business, the economy or the future dominate your thoughts right now?
• How might those fears be costing your business?
• Who would you be without those fears? How might your future be different when coming from that fearless place?

Getting rigorously honest about your fears will help you step up your inner game and cultivate a fearless mindset.
