INTRODUCTION

Show Objectives - Adulting In My Purpose helps young leaders who aspire to become business owners prepare to take their first steps into entrepreneurship. Throughout this show, I will share lessons I have learned about entrepreneurship that every young leader needs to know before their journey begins. 

For this episode, we will talk about what are the characteristics of a risk-taking leader. In this episode, we tackle the big hurdle of overcoming fears and discuss how to “Harness the Power of Risk-Taking”.  
​
Fear is a fundamental part of human psychology. Our brains are wired to feel fear because it helps us avoid misfortune; it keeps us safe.
But fear can also hold us back -- if we let it. Fear feeds on fear, meaning the more we try to avoid something we’re afraid of, the bigger and deeper our anxiety grows. To overcome this, we must face our deep-seated fears and worries. We have to acknowledge our fears and find ways to move beyond them.

There are many common fears that entrepreneurs face. If we don’t confront those challenges, the fears will ultimately consume us. Whatever your fears are, now is the time to take them on and overcome what would otherwise keep you from succeeding.
