STEP #2 KNOW FEAR’S AGENDA  AND MOTIVATION

• Fear  HATES you. But Fear wants you to think he is your friend.
• Fear wants to drive you CRAZY. Fear screams in your ear, “RUN!” or “FIGHT!” Fear never says, “Think about your best options.”
• Fear only has BORROWED power. If people didn’t lend Fear their minds  and bodies, he would have no impact.
• Fear is JEALOUS. Whatever you are too scared to go after, he gets to keep for himself.  And he wants your: Dreams, Joy, Peace, Wealth, Time, Health, and Relationships.

STEP #3 KNOW HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

• Start before Fear knocks on your door.
• SPIRITUAL Perspective:  This is the cornerstone of your value system.
• Decide “What is ENOUGH?”  When you have enough, you can take more risks.
• NAME your Fears:  Fear is great at surprising you. Expect the unexpected.
• Why does this thing SCARE you?
• Gather INFORMATION. When you think, you disconnect Fear’s emotional control.
• Define the “WORST CASE Scenario”. What can you live with?

STEP #4 WHEN FEAR HITS YOU, HIT BACK!

• Repeat previous steps
• What are your OPTIONS? Make a list of action steps.
• Make a DECISION to do something. Indecision is a decision. Controlled action is the goal. Not panic, and not paralysis.
• Create  a plan with a DEADLINE.
