Just that, if you use these tools, you can deal with things like disappointment, quickly and efficiently without falling under their spell.

This episode is about simple tricks to help overcome your fear of failure. What to think about, when wondering whether to try something new. The worst thing you can do is not to try. Don't let the fear of failure push you away from what you really want in life.

One of the biggest problems we face, as people who are low in  confidence, is our propensity to procrastinate. We think if we put  something off enough, eventually it’ll go away and we won’t have to deal  with it. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.

In this episode, Ill give you a simple way to beat your procrastination gremlin.
