3 Ways to Eliminate Fear of Failure, Remove Scarcity Mindset, and Grow Your Community

Episode #270

Overview

What’s really going to happen if you fail? Is it as bad as you’re thinking? What if the things you’re afraid of aren’t real? We’re keeping the vulnerability train rolling this week on the Grow Your Video Business Podcast. Ryan shares 3 ways to identify fear as a video business owner, how to eliminate the scarcity mindset, and how you can grow your community by offering to serve your competitors, that’s right…your competitors. Buckle up and get ready to confront your fears and grow your video business.

Key Takeaways

We often have an irrational fear of what will happen to us if we fail. It’s probably not as bad as we really think it is.

There is so much work out there. We don’t need to try to “crush our competition.” If we genuinely try to serve our clients, there will be enough work for everyone.

Offering to serve even your competitors opens up way more opportunities for growth than trying to go it alone.
