Hello Viewer,

Most of what we fear is only in our imagination. Intention is the first step but the only way forward is to follow through our words. Fortune favours the one who second guesses but is brave enough to act.

In Edition #87, we plan against inner resistance and update our 2025 goals.

FEAR SETTING

The Tool to Overcome Your Mental Barriers

Most of what we fear never happens. Reality doesn’t care about our opinions, yet we allow fear to make our choices. Tim Ferriss, entrepreneur and author of The 4-Hour Workweek, developed the fear-setting exercise to help people analyze their fears, take control of their mindset, and take action even when unsure.

This tool shifts your focus from paralysis by fear to strategic decision-making. Great luck favours those who move forward, even when second-guessing themselves.

The Fear-Setting Process

1️⃣ Define Your Fear – What decision are you afraid to make? What’s the worst that could happen? Be specific.
2️⃣ Prevent the Worst – How can you reduce the likelihood of these worst-case scenarios happening?
3️⃣ Repair & Recover – How would you fix or bounce back if the worst happens?
4️⃣ Cost of Inaction – What will your life look like in 6 months if you let fear stop you? 1 year? 3 years?
5️⃣ Potential Benefits – What are the possible rewards if you take action and succeed?

By breaking your fear into tangible risks, solutions, and opportunities, you gain clarity—most risks aren’t as bad as they seem, and the cost of doing nothing is often much greater.

Fear-Setting Template

Use this three-column framework to go through the exercise:

Example: Taking the Leap into Entrepreneurship

📌 Fear: Leaving a stable job to start a fitness coaching business.
📌 Worst-case scenario: I lose stability because the business doesn’t make enough money.
📌 Prevention: Start as a side hustle, build a client base, and save money before quitting.
📌 Repair: If it fails, return to a fitness or another industry job and use acquired skills to pivot.
📌 Cost of Inaction: If I don’t try, I’ll always wonder “what if” and remain stuck in a career I don’t love.
📌 Potential Benefit: Financial and time freedom, working with clients I enjoy, fulfillment in my work.

Most Common Fears in Fear-Setting

🔥 Career & Business

• Quitting a job to start a business

• Asking for a raise or promotion

• Speaking in front of an audience

• Switching industries or careers

Action is the Antidote to Fear

Fear-setting isn’t about ignoring risks—it’s about putting them into perspective so they no longer control you. The biggest risk is often staying in the same place, avoiding change, and letting fear dictate your decisions.
