Fear and the Haunted House....

When I talk to people about getting started with a new business, Fear can dominate their thoughts.  Fear of failure.  Fear of the unknown.  Fear of being inadequate.  We all deal with fear differently.  But let me share with you how a Haunted House experience helps deal with fears of the unkonwn, etc.

Let's take you back a little.  You are talking to your spouse, your friends, kids about going to a scary Haunted House.  In fact, you want to be scared so you look for the scariest Haunted House around.  You get in your car.  Travel out of your way.   Actually pay to be scared.  Stand in line.  Even talk about how scared you are going to be.  Your wife starts holding your arm tight.

Now you enter.  There are scary things at every corner.  You may even scream.  But you forge ahead.

You make it to the end and take a deep sigh of relief.  You exit the back door.  Make it safely outside.

You and your group look at each other and say:  "LET'S DO IT AGAIN".  That was awesome.

Most things we do are scary the first time.  But once we have done it, let's do it again.  Fear is just an emotion that we deal with all the time.  Put things in perspective.  You can face you fears head on and kick them right in the butt.

How have you dealt with Fear in your life.  Let me know.   Comment below.  Thanks.
