How to Overcome Your Doubts and Fear of Failure

It's Motivation Monday so we thought it could be helpful to share an article from author/blogger/entrepreneur Carla Biesinger entitled 'How to overcome your self-doubts and your fear of failure & start a business you LOVE.'

"Starting your own business is easily one of the most exciting and at the same time terrifying times in your life. You know you have what it takes to make this happen: you're feeling confident about yourself; you have the passion, the drive, the knowledge, the skills.

"What if you fail?"

"What if no-one wants to buy your products/services?"

"Who's going to invest in YOU? You don't have a website/a degree/a certificate..."

And suddenly you're not feeling so sure about yourself anymore.
