Being afraid of failure is a normal emotion for every person on the planet. How you get past that fear is the determining factor between failing and succeeding. You can do that by setting realistic goals and then examining those goals on occasion to do any necessary realignment. Above all, believe in yourself and the desire burning within.

As one of my online mentors, Carrie Wilkerson the Barefoot Executive, says “Fail fast and fail often!” The sooner you fail, the sooner you can learn from it and move on!
