Have you\u00a0heard the saying “a few sharks can ruin the sea”? Probably not. It\u2019s not an actual saying. Perhaps it should be.<\/p>\n

Have you ever wanted to take a chance on a new idea or project but found yourself hesitating? Why? It could be because you realize there is a chance it might fail, so you find yourself afraid to follow through.<\/p>\n

Our friend, Beck Tench, writes often about failure. About confronting it, admitting it and defining it. On her blog, she offers a “flow chart for fear<\/a>”\u00a0to help you better understand its root. The fear of failure can be debilitating. Beck challenges you to determine whether it\u2019s legitimate or not before you turn down a day at the beach.<\/p>\n

If you are still struggling with confronting these fears, Beck gives you a\u00a0step-by-step breakdown to draw your own sharks<\/a>. Go ahead. Think of something you are afraid of.<\/p>\n

Happy swimming.<\/p>\n
