I L-O-V-E connecting with people.

And I especially love hanging around people who are making things happen. From ambitious entrepreneurs founding startups to folks who run multibillion-dollar ventures, these go-getters share a common thread: the ability to use fear to their advantage.

In fact, this common thread is the No. 1 "inner game" skill that separates the uber-successful and happy from those who struggle to make any real progress.

Here's the good news: Anyone can develop this ability!

Here's the bad news: Most of us have been programmed in exactly the wrong way to deal with fear -- and find ourselves completely debilitated when it strikes.

Most people either think fear means "F**k Everything And Run," or it's a sign they're doing something wrong and should retreat back into their comfort zone. Unfortunately, most people never break out of this misinformed, painful pattern.

In the video below, I'll show you the right way to deal with fear -- and how to use it to your advantage to fuel your drive ahead. Plus, you'll learn a simple method to set your brain on autopilot to help you achieve your dreams.

I honestly believe what you're about to learn can make a positive, permanent impact on the trajectory of your business and life, so watch this video now.


Ready to take the next step? Leave a comment below and let me know the single biggest insight you gained from this video, plus an idea on how you can put this insight into action today.

If you've got your own tricks for dealing with fear, I'd love to hear them as well. Share your story below.

Love,

Marie

Michael Drew: Andy Griffith's Fearlessly Joyful Work Ethic

It's rare for anyone in Hollywood to speak about someone's exemplary conduct on the set, an environment that's usually treated as off-limits, since how the sausage is made is best left unexamined. But some 50 years after working with Andy Griffith, Ron Howard's remembering the spirit of that generous work environment shows how lasting an impression such professionalism, joy and kindness can have on a young person.

A healthy life is a delicate balance between interdependence and self-dependence. Having the ability to be independent positively impacts all areas of your life. Self-reliance boosts self-confidence and can increase self-love and overall life satisfaction.

Lisa Arends: Fearless Dating 101: Lessons From A Substitute Teacher

I often went out every day of the week, mostly for coffee or a walk in the park, opening myself to new lessons and new experiences. I could practice without fear, knowing that I had a new date the next day if I inadvertently made a fatal error with the current one. I practiced and grew more confident and more knowledgeable with every date.

Marie! Great to see you here! Hey, fabulous people reading this, sign up for Marie's stuff, you will not regret it for one second. I love her stuff and get so so much out of her videos every week.
I don't have much fear but more anxiety (possibly fear in disguise). I have been running from this anxiety for as long as I can imagine. But I recently realized that it is actually intuition knocking on my door. So if I lean into my feelings (like Marie says, really feel what you are feeling), I get a lot of clarity and info. I just figured this out so I am just starting to get the hang of it so this article/video/post is very timely and a great reminder.
Again, get with Marie, she is the bomb!
