Is fear holding you back from trying something new or going after what you really want? Here are some ways to get past it.

I hate fear. Fear has cost me a hefty sum in dental bills from grinding my teeth. Fear interferes with sleep, digestion, and many other things that make life worth living. When you examine some of the worst things human beings have done, you'll often find fear as the root cause. There's no doubt about it: Fear sucks.

Here's what's worked best for me over the years. (And if you've found something else that works, I'd love to hear it!)

1. Ask yourself: Should I take action to solve this fear?

Leadership is a constant fight for what you stand for and what you seek to achieve for the betterment of yourself and the healthier whole. Do you have the self-trust to endure the journey? The belief in yourself not to be derailed by others who may doubt your intentions? The preparedness to stay the course or course-correct – and not lose faith, focus, and hope along the way?

Leadership is about putting yourself to the test; knowing how much you can stretch your thinking and that of your colleagues, challenging your core beliefs during times of uncertainty, and staying true to yourself when the pressure seems insurmountable. As a leader, it’s about having the wisdom to know what your experiences have taught you.
