MONEY & DREAMS (2) - 10 GREAT WAYS TO DEAL WITH FEARS | @Talledavidson

Just incase you missed the PART 1, read it here ---->> MONEY & DREAMS (1) - 11 Good Things You Can Do Now To Start Making Money For Your Dreams

Dreams...Technically innate in us all. But what have you defined as your true dream? Whatever it is, Remember "A true dream is not the one you ENJOY while sleeping but the one that PREVENTS you from sleeping."

After my last post, I got an influx of questions from folks - here in Nigeria, Ghana, and in UK - on starting and launching out. While having psychotherapy sessions with them, I discovered there were major cases of uncertainties and FEAR. Here are stuff you should do just incase you encounter same:

1. DESIGN YOUR SELF IDEALS:
There comes a time in life where we must make a choice, and that choice can define the rest of our lives. We can either live our lives the way they are and let dreams be mere fantasy, or we can take a bold step and try to make our dreams come true. You need to make this choice, and you need to make it sooner rather than later. Appraise your life as it currently is and ask yourself if you’re happy with it. TRULY happy. Then consider your life as it might be if you were living your true dreams and ask yourself if you’d be happier.

2. ACCEPT REALITY:
Let me be honest with you: no matter how glamorous some people try and make the entrepreneur life sound, it’s not EASY! If you are an entrepreneur like me, you can identify with that. In your dreams you might picture yourself sipping pina coladas on a beach, or driving a Ferarri through your favorite holiday city while the cool "balary" - a slang for money in Nigeria - comes flowing in. That might happen to you someday, but truth be told, it may not happen overnight, over the next month, or even over the next year. In reality, if you quit your job-like I did - to chase your dream, you should be ready to work HARDER. To start with, you’re going to find yourself with a lot of time on hand, and time being your greatest currency for transaction, you’ll need to learn to use it wisely. Try and spend as much of it as you can on creating your new business or dream. You would need to maintain a social life but you must define it as a strategy for NETWORKING and NETWORLDING - I am writing a book on that. You also must be willing to make sacrifices and take some risks to dare things.

3. REVIEW YOUR SITUATION:
Are the sacrifices and risks worth the chance of extra happiness? It’s tough to quantify happiness but, for lack of a more scientific method, let’s go ahead anyway. Here's a researched analysis - assume that living the dream means your happiness is at 10/10. Clinical depression is 0/10. What’s your current happiness score? If you’re currently at 8 or 9 then you’re taking on a lot of risk for an extra 1 or 2 points of happiness.
Whereas if you’re at 2 or 3, you potentially have a lot to gain. Consider this though: the risk works both ways. You have a chance of going up to 10 and a chance of going down to 0. Granted, if you put in the work, your chances of getting to 10 are a lot higher than dropping to 0. You decide. There are guys who aren’t very happy with their lives and yet don’t want to change anything because they think their lives will get worse. On the other hand, there are those who are quite happy but still take the risk because they feel there is more to life. Dr Talle belongs to the latter. Yes, I belong to the latter. I was fairly happy but not at 10/10. Sure, I had fun with friends and colleagues, but I knew something BIG was missing and I needed to find out what it was. So I decided to SWITCH my JOB and chase my true dreams. The moment I did that, something clicked inside me. It was scary at the beginning, I was misunderstood as it was nothing personal. I faced PAIN, NEGLET, DEPRESSION, FRUSTRATION, CRITICISM and REJECTION from loved friends, etc! But for the first time in my life, I felt like I was on the verge of taking control of my life. You may never know the TENANCITY and GENIUS in YOU till you make and face TOUGH decisions.

4. HUG YOUR FEARS:
It took a lot of courage to quit, but I had made the decision and I wasn’t going back. How did I overcome my fear? Read further on 5, 6, 7.

5. BE CONFIDENT:
I had great trust in myself and my God given abilities. I believed that I could start and that my dream would make me money and allow me to live myself ideals. And if it didn’t, I believed I’d always be able to find another job. It’s a mindset thing, but it’s important if you want success. Look at other successful people in your desired industry and the first thing you’ll notice is confidence. In my case, I mustered Supreme confidence which is God Confidence.

6. LOOK AT YOUR WORST CASE SCENARIO:
The worst thing that could happen is your business/dream won’t take off as you planned. But is it really that bad? Is it the end of your life? You can always pick yourself back up and try again, or you could get another job. Tenacity, resilience and the ability to bounce back from failure are other hallmarks of a successful entrepreneur. You must be ready to fail forward. The fastest way to succeed is to start "failing". That way you'd gain more experience.

7. DESIGN A PLAN:
The biggest source of fear is uncertainty. Dr Talle faced this. I launched out without a plan so I had to do what I'm asking you to do now. Still upgrading anyway. The fear of the unknown - What are you going to do once you start? It’s amazing how even a basic plan can ease our fear of the unknown. Jot down some ideas you have for what you can do and make a quick schedule for the next few weeks and months. Plotting down some outcomes and goals – no matter how inaccurate they may end up being – will help you feel like you know what the future holds. It’s all therapeutic and psychological.

8. DIVORCE PROCASTINATION:
Realise that there’s no better time to START than right now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not next month. Right now! Create a sense of urgency and stop procrastinating. You know that voice in your head telling you to wait? That’s fear talking to you. If you keep waiting, you’ll keep dying. While you shouldn’t jump without looking first, you should be looking to jump as FAST as you can.

9. GO ALL THE WAY:
You’ve made your decision, you’ve overcome your fears, and you’re not going to look back. It’s time to take the plunge. I remember when I started. There was no chip on my shoulder. Only a bounce in my step, a smile on my face, an energy coursing through me, and I felt completely liberated. It’s been terrific! Among many other accomplishments, I've spent a year running a NEW INITIATIVE in Africa. I’m now in Lagos, running 3 Nation building projects (#SeeYourWorld Project; #FreeKick Project, #RetireAtForty) I'm running a freelance e-retail business, I designed a new DREAM SWITCH TECHNOLOGY - Coaching and helping many folks to Realise, Upgrade and Maximise their True dreams [●Dream Automation ● Life Catalysis ●Career ReBoost ● Paradigm Irrigation...etc. Its first of its kind!

I'm a columnist in 3 National Magazines. Lauching PEAKLIFE.COM in 2015, etc. I get calls from folks in different parts of the world, seeking for some of my products that i'm still working on. Can you imagine???

10. TRUST GOD:
All I know, all I am, all I desire is from God my SUPER PROGRAMMER. God has helped this guy mehn! Moreso, I have achieved my dreams of being trained, coached and endorsed by my CORE models; FELA DURUTOYE, PAUL-KAYODE JOASH and attended the award winning LANRE OLUSOLA LIFE COACHING ACADEMY. I’ve got a long way to go, more dreams to chase, More lives to impart and more money to make. But I’m already on my path and I know one day I’ll get there. You can do it too because there is GREATNESS inside of you! There is more. Don't miss the next edition because I have something lovely for you. Stay Connected.
