In a post on Quora, Evan Asano, CEO of Mediakix.com offered a response to the question: “How can I overcome the fear of failiure?”
His response included an anecdote from his time as a high school hockey player, and a particularly meaningful life lesson extracted from a coaching session. That day, the coach taught his students about pushing the limits of their comfort zone, about taking risks in pursuit of ‘failure’, for the sake of developing a ‘new normal’ and reframing their fear.
He summarises the lesson with the following steps towards overcoming fear:
- Reframe failure
- Understand your fear
- Counter fear with confidence
- Take action
- Ignore the fear
- Challenge the fear
- Debunk fearlessness
