Is The Fear Of Making Mistakes Holding You Back?

Whenever I try to get everything perfect in my business, I get trapped in a cycle of inactivity and I remain in the same spot!

Does that happen to you too?

You take one step forward but because you don’t want to make a mistake, you immediately take two steps backward.

That used to be me, until I realised that the greatest mistake is to avoid making mistakes.

Here’s an example:

The first time I made a video for my business, it was waaaaaay outside my comfort zone. I must have done it about 50 times before I had the courage to post it online.

Why did it take me about 50 times?

Because I wanted to get everything perfect.

I wanted my words and sentences to be perfect and for the video to perfectly capture everything I wanted to say.

I kept doing it over and over again and wasn’t getting anywhere until I decided that enough was enough!

I didn’t care about the numerous mistakes anymore.

I hit the ‘upload’ button and that was it!

Job done!…. and I was thrilled that I had pushed myself out of my comfort zone.

My point is…

If you want to be successful at what you do, you WILL make mistakes! It’s part of the package!

Do you know anyone who is scared to death of mistakes (or failing)? My guess is that they are stuck in the same spot, and not moving forward.

You only get better by failing forward.

I’m sure you’ve heard this saying..“Practice makes perfect”. It’s so true.

As part of the practice, you will make many many many mistakes and that’s okay 🙂
