Skip the fear, go straight into action

Straight up: I’ve been feeling a lot of fear lately. (Surprised?)

Now, I’m not talking about wigging out over money or the economy or anything like that. (Nor am I partaking of doomsday/armageddon scenarios, despite being caught in my first-ever California earthquake a couple of weeks ago. *laugh*)

I’m talking about the kind of fear that comes with taking that whole “putting myself out there in a BIG way” thing to the next level.

2010 has turned into a year of massive personal and professional growth. On top of all that, I’m preparing for a major life change – leaving my beloved Northeast for a new city that’s completely across the country.

I’ve had more than a few people suggest that I pull back a little and take it slow. But I’ve chosen to do exactly the opposite – to not walk but RUN to the other side of my fear (and the next level) by taking massive action. The pipeline for the next 90 days includes…

• A complete overhaul of MarketingGoddess.com.. and the announcement of a brand NEW platform that I will be launching soon. It’s a project that is near and dear to me and gets to the core of my calling. It has also been in the works (and in my head) for a loooong time. I’m very excited (and more than a little nervous!)

• A lot more “getting out there” to coincide with the new websites as I seek to actively grow the Marketing Goddess circle for the first time. (We’ve been growing steadily all along, but it’s time for a little intentional listbuilding!)

• The announcement of my upcoming Platinum group coaching program to start in mid-summer

Notice that NONE of the above is busywork, worrying or “marketing churning.” Believe me, the fear is there! But instead of letting it stop me, I’ve decided to focus on moving forward. And here’s the crazy part…

… the fear is actually starting to let up – a LOT. (Action conquers fear – who knew?)

Here’s what I’ve learned that I’d like to share with you…

When we’re in the thick of it, we don’t realize that just on the other side of the fear is all the good stuff that we want. And that all we need to do to get a little relief from the fear is to tell that part of us that’s wired for survival, “Thank you, but I’ve got it handled”… and move on.

My coach’s request to you is to notice where you’re feeling fear this week. Instead of giving in and staying stuck, gently inform the fear that you’ve got it handled. And take the next bold step towards your goal. Bright blessings and massive success to you…
