It’s quite amazing how many times when women entrepreneurs get together, the subject of fear comes up in conversation. Fear of moving from a corporate career to becoming an entrepreneur, fear of the unknown when starting up a business, fear of not getting the balance right between business and family life, and fear of failure, to name but a few. Yet the important thing to remember is that no one is without fear; it’s what you do with that fear that separates you from those who succumb to it. There’s a great quote on the subject by the seemingly fearless Arianna Huffington, Editor in Chief of The Huffington Post. She says: “Fearlessness is not the absence of fear. It’s the mastery of fear. It’s about getting up one more time than we fall down.” What a great way of putting fear into context - something to think about when you next get one of those fear-ridden, anxious moments on your entrepreneurial journey!
