Where Does Courage Come From?
In “Think and Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill says the number one major attribute of leadership is “unwavering courage”. He says that “no follower wishes to be dominated by a leader who lacks self-confidence and courage. No intelligent follower will be dominated by such a leader very long.”
So the question for many is, how do we get the unwavering courage to be that leader? For me, I have three things that I do to help me overcome fears that show up when I am moving forward.
2. Stay in the zone. By this I mean, I stay in the place of abundance and possibilities by reading the right books, listening to the right audios and turning off the news. I write in my journal everyday, and when I feel stuck, I take a walk. I go to the events that I know will support my growth.
3. Move forward knowing that I don’t have to be perfect. I give myself permission to make mistakes. I know I have a gift to share with the world; and my ideal clients need me. I have to move forward so they can find me. I owe it to them not to wait until everything is perfect.
