INSPIRATION: Why you should define your fears instead of your goals

Guys, it’s time to hit you with some real talk. Often the difficult choices that present themselves to us – what we most fear doing, asking and saying – are exactly what we need to do. However, these fears often make us paralysed and leave us stuck in a rut, unable to take action and find our way out. How do we overcome this?

Early-stage tech investor, bestselling author and podcaster Tim Ferriss encourages us to fully envision and write down our fears in detail, in a basic but mighty exercise he calls “fear-setting.” This magic tool can help you thrive in high-stress environments and separate what you can control from what you cannot – pretty powerful stuff! Have a listen to his methods and give it a crack. You just might surprise yourself with what you can achieve when you face your fears.
