Things I do that scare me

By on February 7, 2012

  • Telling a client what I really think
  • Writing blog posts that will upset people
  • Talking about things that are often left unsaid (like Why I was tempted to discriminate against women)
  • Pressing that button that releases a book to the public
  • Turning down a piece of work because it is not right for me
  • Send out a book proposal to agents and publishers
  • Announcing a new project that might fail (Note: all new projects might fail)

I think I should do more things that scare me, more often, because I find that the most important things in my business life tend to be the scariest ones.

What scares you in your career or work?

Now go and do it anyway.
