Fears

 After you have completed the learning experience, record your observations to the following questions

After you have completed the learning experience, record your observations to the following questions I've had many fears when it comes to going out into the "real world" and working as an entrepreneur. As a photographer for 12 years, I lived in fear. Some of the fears were:

1. The fear of not being good enough

2. Spending more money than I make, and not knowing when to quit

3. Taking on more than I can handle and being overwhelmed

4. Not being able to perform the job
in your journal.
1. If you pursue your calling with discipline, intentionality, and the help of fellow travelers, what are chances that your worst case scenario will really happen?
2. As you look at your list of fears, what themes emerge? What is at the core of what you really fear?

1. If you pursue your calling with discipline, intentionality, and the help of fellow travelers, what are the chances that your worst case scenario will really happen? 

There is always a chance your worst case scenario will really happen. We all go into things with the best intentions. Small fears and large ones can cloud judgements, and change our focus. Even if you are disciplined, you can't change the things you can not control. Now, if the worst case scenario does happen, there is probably someone who has already been through it. The best thing to do is to get help from an outside source, someone who is able to listen to your surcumstance from a logical perspective and advise you on how to handle the situation.

2. As you look at your list of fears, what themes emerge? What is at the core of what you really fear? 
Financial ruin? The judgment or disapproval of others? Physical harm? Endangering the ones you love? 
Embarrassment?

The theme that emerges for me is the fear of judgement. I really fear failure and the disapproval of others. It's very hard to get through loosing relationships that you have built through love and care. 

3. What is the risk of taking no action – not following your calling? How do you plan to deal with fear 
when it pops up on your entrepreneurial journey?

The risk of taking no action is living a life always wondering. Never being fulfilled and experiencing true joy though purpose. I know for myself, I want happiness. I don't care about having the best house and car, thrills and looking like a super model. What I care about is helping others and being an example of good.
