Fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in the mind.
― Dale Carnegie
One of your biggest threats to living a life full of passion plus profits is fear. I’m not talking about the kind of fear that is a response to actual physical dangers. I’m referring to the kind of fear that attempts to hold you back with imaginary threats. Beware of the form of fear which aims to leave you living a life of mediocrity and regret.
