When I start a new venture,
I always feel both doubt and fear.
Doubt and fear, when justified,
is healthy.
It tells me when something isn’t working,
and
when my proposed actions could backfire,
harming me.
Doubt and fear, however,
can also freeze me,
causing me not to take action,
or to take an action I know
has worked in the past
but isn’t right for the situation.
It is damn hard
to distinguish healthy doubt and fear
from unhealthy doubt and fear.
This is one of the reasons
I have a group of informal advisors.
I ask them
if I’m making sense.
Doubt and fear should assist you,
not hold you back.
