Hey Freelancer — Stop Letting Fear Hold You Back!
Freelancing can seem like a scary endeavor. But with the right planning and execution, it can be an incredible career!
Are you a freelance writer who wants to achieve greater success — but find yourself held back by fear?
If so, you’re not alone.
Fear is a powerful emotion that can keep us frozen in our tracks, preventing us from taking the actions we need to take to achieve our goals. Often, the only way to overcome our fears is to face them head-on.
Why Fear Holds Us Back
Fear can take many forms. It might be the fear of failure or the fear of success. It might be the fear of being rejected or the fear of making mistakes.
Whatever form it takes, fear is often based in insecurity. We might be afraid to put ourselves out there because we’re afraid we’re not good enough or afraid we’ll be rejected.
The problem with letting fear hold us back is that it prevents us from taking risks and doing the things that could help us achieve our dreams.
When we’re too afraid to take chances, we play it safe, stay in our comfort zones, and not reach our full potential.
