Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

JOHN MAXWELL
About this episode

Today, John Maxwell is going to teach you ten ways to constructively face your fears. 

A few key points from this lesson:

  •       Most fear is not based upon fact; it is based upon feeling
  •       Leaders should focus on things they can control, not things they can’t control
  •       Feed the right emotion and starve the wrong one

After John’s lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede join to talk about helpful ways you can apply this lesson to your life and leadership. 

Our BONUS resource for this episode is the “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway Worksheet,” which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John’s teaching. You can download the worksheet by visiting MaxwellPodcast.com/fear and clicking “Download the Bonus Resource.”
