Cindy's Blog #3


The fear is gripping me again. I am excited to have one person registered for my September Group Coaching program. And, I’ve sent out an email message to the wonderful people on my mailing list. I’ve posted the event on my facebook page and invited all my friends. I need to plan a preview call but WHAT IF NO ONE COMES???? I’m picturing a full group, I’m excited about what I know to be the value of what I do but I can’t seem to get past my fear... my fear that I can’t express the value in a way that is compelling and will cause people to register. I know that my fear and doubt is creating exactly the negative energy that will get in my way! I know I need to create positive energy and vision. But, I also have to DO some things. . What’s wrong with me? Am I lazy? Am I not committed? I’m afraid it won’t all work out and it has me frozen in my tracks again! I need an partner or buddy... someone to walk beside me in this. But for now... I need to walk away and get some space from it.

So what if no one comes is the worst case scenario right? So maybe it's not a course that has enough interest or the timing is off or you need another way to market. If it doesn't fly, it's good information to learn from and tweak your offer. Just my 2 cents!

You know you are headed in the right direction. You know you have something really valuable that you are offering. I keep coming back to how you coached me on fear… acknowledging with kindness to myself that part that is human, protective, old stuff and working with the part that means there is something I can and want to do. Also remembering to stay in this moment – is what I’m afraid of happening now? Do I need to deal with it now?


I heard a great podcast on fear that talked about how we evolutionarily inclined to it – the mammals that lazed in the sun were never afraid got eaten by other bigger animals!
