What does a fear of failure look like? 3 common signs
In this YouTube livestream (this is my first!), I shared 3 common characteristics of someone with a fear of failure for your self-awareness and self-discovery.
As an entrepreneur or a self-employed person, I think it's good for us to know if we have a fear of failure and slowly work on it.
Thats’s because having this fear is going to hold us back from many opportunities, from business growth and from personal growth.
Watch this video if you are curious to see if you have a fear of making mistakes and failure :).

Two ways for mindful goal-setting to avoid overwhelm
In this episode, I will be sharing two steps for mindful goal-setting which will motivate you to work on them. It’s important for us to set goals which are not overwhelming or anxiety-inducing because if our goals induce fear, anxiety, or nervousness in us, we are likely not going to refer to those goals as the days go by.

How to manage perfectionism in business
If you have been frustrated with yourself for taking too long to...
Launch something
Publish (a free and helpful) lead magnet to your audience
Create free podcast eps and YouTube vids
… maybe you are being a little perfectionistic in your business :)
It can happen if we grew up in an environment where mistakes were not tolerated.
Or perhaps you have worked in an office where mistakes carry heavy consequences.
One way to get some control over our perfectionism is to do this quick exercise below.
Much of perfectionism is due to our ‘all or nothing’ thinking patterns.
This exercise is a snapshot from my done-for-you Overcome Perfectionism workbook which you can brand and sell to your audience.
I’ve also recorded a 10-minute video last week to share how we can gain some control over perfectionism as a business owner:
I recorded the video using a not-Zoom software and it was not as smooth, admittedly.
I hope the video will help you understand why you make business decisions the way you do. And hopefully you will feel less alone as a business owner who has perfectionism tendencies.
See you in my next email, video or podcast ep :)
Take care.

Two ways to face business mistakes and ‘failure’
I’m sharing two paths you can choose to handle business mistakes in a relatively healthier way.
In an email to my 8000-strong subscribers last week, I shared a new podcast ep where I discussed two paths you can choose when facing ‘failure’ in your business.
Since we pretty much can’t run away from mistakes as business owners, we can learn to handle them in a healthy way instead of letting ourselves go through the downward spiral of low self-worth and depressed-like feelings.
There are many ways we can face ‘failure’, but I am sharing two paths today.
Path 1:
If you have a ‘fighter’ personality, you may like Path 1 : which is to fight the failure aggressively and turn it into a success.
You will take massive action such as hiring new people, creating new funnels, testing new products - sometimes all at once.
Path 2:
If you are a peace-loving business owner, you may lean into Path 2 : which involves accepting failure as part of the business journey.
This also means: you are in no rush to ‘fix’ the failure and you are at peace with different phases of your business. You will ‘go with the flow’ and allow your intuition to lead the way.
So… are you more likely to choose Path 1 or Path 2?
Personally, I choose Path 2 because I value mental peace and inner peace.
If you value achievements and speed, you may prefer Path 1.
One path is not better than the other.
I would like to assure you that both paths are valid and helpful to manage business mistakes and failure in a healthier way.
Do you have your own preferred way of handling ‘failure’ in business?
If I were to create more videos and podcast episodes surrouding the mindset aspect of running a business, what topics would you like me to discuss?
