I am currently starting a business, but my main issue isn't strategy, it's fear. I have been resisting starting this business for a while but now I am taking action a bit more. But I am feeling resistance, especially in moments like when I need to do outreach or just sit down and learn more about my niche / business model. For anyone who has any sort of business, what helped you get past that fear stage in the beginning? For context, I am a 20-year-old college student, and I am starting this business because I genuinely want to. However I feel like I think more about the end goal because the fear I currently have when it comes to really doing the work gives me anxiety.
Thank you!
Thank you!
