Fear of rejection

It turns out that that’s what my greatest fear is.

I used to think it was fear of failure.

Once you understand your biggest fear you can address it.

I’m not sure if you ever overcome your greatest fear, by that I mean I don’t think you ever make it go away.

But I do think you overcome it every day.

My fears don’t hold me back from asking for reviews any more.

They used to. Addressing that fear has been great for my mental health and great for my business.

My fears still hold me back in other areas, but I’m working on them.

Hey, remember I said my fears don’t hold me back from asking for reviews?

If you find these Marketing Minutes encouraging, if they give you motivation or food for thought, may I invite you to leave a Google review for our team.

I write these myself but I wouldn’t have the time without my team of Greg, Jamie, Chase and Barbara carrying the rest of the load at Alley Kat Signs and Marketing.

Here’s the Google review link if you think it’s appropriate.

All the best.
