Scared Money Don’t Make Money

Bravery isn’t the absence of fear.
It’s breaking through it.

Fear has two meanings. Forget Everything And Run, or Face Everything And Rise. Everyone gets scared. It’s human. Successful business people find a way to overcome it though. Which definition will you choose?

Have you ever met someone fearless? I always wonder how those people are still alive, because fear is healthy. It keeps you safe. Jumping out a perfectly good plane? Yeah, fear that. That psycho walking into a school with an AK-47? Of course, fear him! Starting a new business? Absolutely. Fear that too. Then put on your big boy pants and push past it, because being an entrepreneur is the number one way to create wealth.

Let’s look at what fear really is. At its core, it’s a lack of confidence. The more confident you are, the less scared you are. It’s just that simple.

If you’re confident you won’t end up as a pancake, jumping out of that plane is easy. Confident that psycho is completely out of bullets? Making him instantly regret his horrific life choices is now an option! Confident that your new business will make you, your kids, and your grandkids wealthy? You’ll race to invest any amount you need to make that happen. Confidence is a necessary component for success.

Believe in yourself!
Let’s look at Bob. Bob saved $20,000, and wanted to invest it in a new business. Smart Bob -- smart. Bob's business could transform his entire life for the better. Yet, he hesitated. He hesitated because he didn’t have confidence in the expected outcome. Even though there are millions of successful small businesses, Bob was scared of failure. As a result, Bob changed his mind and didn’t invest. Bob still works for a boss he hates to this very day.

Now, let’s take a look at Kate. Kate also saved $20,000. Kate worked hard for that money, so it’s important to her. She decided to buy a new car with it. Unlike a business, that car would only ever COST her money. She'd never bought a car before, but she wasn't scared. She didn't worry about buying a lemon that'd breakdown every other week. There was no fear, because she "knew" it would make her happy. She was confident in the expected outcome of her decision, so she bought it! Buy car, be happy. Simple.

The only difference between Bob and Kate -- is confidence.

Ever watch Shark Tank? Those guys invest millions of dollars in people they just met because they’re confident. With good judgment and a healthy amount of confidence, they get richer and richer every single day. They grow and maintain that confidence with the help of talented professionals. Ever hear them mention their "team"? That team is the reason they can do all those deals and have all that success! And the best part is -- you can be just like them! You just need your own confidence and your own TEAM. So:

1. Do your research
2. Build your confidence
3. Invest in yourself before anything else
4. Get help from a TEAM of professionals
5. Control your future

And, no matter what, always remember this phrase, “Scared money don’t make money.” Now confidently go forth and make that money!
