What's your biggest fear?

[HayesTech]

It takes real balls to admit that you're afraid of something.

I'll start this off, some huge fears of mine are 1) losing the capital ($) that I've accumulated so far and 2) wasting my time pursing a bad idea.

1. Losing the good health my family and I currently enjoy.

End of list.

Everything else is details.

When I was younger my biggest fear was myself. I thought I was going to become someone I was not. Because of that internally I struggled for a couple of years. I lost weight had no confidence. I was willing to internally digest and accept my flaws which I think was a major key. I also met someone who helped to build my confidence and my fight.I came out 10x happier and healthier. Those couple years were some of the best learning experiences. My biggest fear now is not being able to provide and as a result losing somebody I love.

The slowlane.

I'm not even joking. Spending life in the slowlane is probably my number 1 fear. I can't deal with the thought of looking back when I'm 60 knowing that 5/7ths of my time had been sold to the highest bidder. It seriously makes me feel sick if I think about it too much.

My business failing and being unable to provide for my family. Though it's an irrational fear because I know I could always go get another JOB if I needed to.

Changing myself. Letting go on comfort. Fear itself. Rejection.

My biggest fear WAS failure! It kept me up at night thinking about the what if and kept me from just starting. Finally over it and I believe this impacts a lot of people as well and keeps them from just jumping in.

I fear not living up to my full potential.

I fear not living up to my full potential.

This one resonates heavily with me...

I have many fears, one of which is The Fear of Starting - I'll explain below:

I'll use my current business idea as an example. Although it's in an over- saturated market (no, it's not an app) it still presents great financial opportunities, because most guys just following each other, but my execution angle is different. I've some clients who are amazed of how innovative my products are and recommending me to other friends. Most of my clients are asking me why I've no social presence and no website - they say that with such a service I can make a killing.

However, I am delaying, procrastinating and over-analyzing. Rather than starting my business I am stuck in an analysis paralysis BS. It's one of my greatest fears - the fear of starting.

I am so scared to start - because I am scared to fail. I am afraid things won't go according to plan and sometimes think that demand is too good to be true. I am afraid something will blow-up.

I fear about letting fear stop me from doing great things and move forward.

• Not knowing what idea to start
• Not knowing how to make the idea come to life
• Wasting time/money
• Basically not being smart enough to make anything happen
• Never figuring it out and being stuck in the slow lane forever
