The guy is responsible for the company. He has an idea. He thinks it's a good one. It looks like it'll make a boatload of money and he'll be manifesting abundance... lots of it. He is afraid it might not work. They could lose millions.
The other fellow is head of a department. He also has an idea he thinks is good. When it succeeds he will be noticed and then be on his way to advancement. He'll be manifesting abundance for himself and his family. There is just one problem. He's afraid he's wrong and his department as well as the company will lose money.
Handling Fear... Separating the Haves from the Have Nots
Fear is a part of trying something new. Some people have so much fear it paralyzes them. Others have some anxiety. No matter how much fear you have, the question is how you handle it.
Take the two fellows above. The one responsible for the company has addressed his fear many times. You can't get to a place of power without taking risks. Will it work or not? What will happen if it doesn't work? What are the odds? I would bet that fear to him is an adrenaline rush. It excites him and moves him forward.
The head of the department is either fairly new at what he does... or has been there a long time and is going no further. If he's new, he may not have had to make many decisions that could mean failure. It he's been there a while, my guess would be he's taken the safe way out many times. He hasn't moved through his fear.
Gather Your Information
The best way to address your fear is to gather as much information as you can within a certain time period. You want the time limit so you don't suffer from "the paralysis of analysis." Once you have your data, list the pros and cons. What can go wrong? What can go right? What will you gain? What will you lose?
Now that you have the information and the possible outcomes, what are you going to do? The head of the company is going to take risks. He's done it many times. The fact he's where he is means he has a pretty good record at success. You bet he's had things that didn't work out. They were his learning experiences, not failures.
The department head now has his choice. If all the information points to a strong possibility of success, will he focus on the success or focus on the smaller chance of failure... and he will interpret it as failure if it keeps him from moving forward.
What would you choose? Does fear stop you or energize you?
