Accountability Now
Hi, my name is Don Markland. I'm the CEO and founder of accountability now, the greatest sales and marketing coaching firm on planet earth. And in my practice, I get asked by entrepreneurs. All the time, Don
"Can I overcome my fear of making decisions?"
You can overcome that fear of making decisions is not easy toward, but you can do it.
And the methods actually simple, but you have to understand where fear comes from. Fear is always associated with the unknown it's it's associated with things that you can't see, or you don't know where they are. You see? When I, I, I want you to follow a metaphor. See, when I was really young, I used to think there was a monster in my closet.
Now look, this is when I was 17. I'm talking about when I was really young, right? Like eight or nine years old. And I knew there was a monster in my closet. I mean, I knew it as true as anything. This monster was there. And one night the fear was so bad. I couldn't sleep. And I started to yell for my dad. Dad, dad come in, he had to come get this monster out of my closet.
And when he came in, he pardon me for a little bit. And then he opened up my closet and turn on the light. And when he turned it on, there was no monster. There was nothing there. It was empty. And he taught me a lesson about fear. Fear is always associated with what we can't see. It's always associated with the unknown.
And so when you're scared of making decisions, you have to ask yourself, what am I afraid of? What can't I see. I need more data. I need more information. I need to turn on the light. And when you do, you won't be afraid anymore.
That's the key. My name is Dawn Markland.
