¿Cómo se supera el miedo al fracaso?

When I work with job seekers who feel "stuck" in their roles, the first thing I do is ask why they haven't left. There are usually a lot of reasons, but when we peel away each reason the root is always FEAR. Sometimes that is surprising to them. I think realizing what the root cause is becomes the first step. Once they realize it's fear, they can move on to how to deal with that area that is keeping them stuck--delve into it, analyze it, write down their pros and cons, and then make an actionable decision.

I run an early stage startup called Serri. Me, my cofounders & everyone who’s considering to join us is struck by fear. Fear of failure. Here’s how I help them in identifying their fears: 1. Think of worst-case-scenario. In most cases, it’s likely that they’ll lose jobs. They’ll be back to job hunting. Financial stability of family may suffer. 2. Plan of action. Continuing the same example, finding a job may take a few months. Given we’re so keen on hiring them, it’s likely that whenever they get to market again, they’re find better if not similar positions. Plus, we promise to help them find such opportunities. 3. Reality check. For some, it’d be okay. For some, unacceptable. Anyways, this helps you identify fears and take action.

In my opinion, and from my experience, reframing the notion of failure is integral; everything was perfect in the moment and the gift just isn't recognized until some time later. It's better to be curious rather than self-deprecating.

In my experience we must take failure as a gift , this is the only way to grow , to learn , to realize that things can be done on a different way , or we discover new approaches to an issue , what matters is to understand that society has been wrong failure is not bad , failure is the path to success , to growth and to have a peaceful life .

The reframing is important. Oftentimes, a view of the process of the event over a longer period of time will often reveal certain insights and understanding couldn't have happened any other way. It's the return to the path that demonstrates the faith, love and trust in oneself. The old adage of 'nothing is good or bad, it's how we think it so' applies.

The key to being able to receive support is being vulnerable. We may not know the trials and tribulations of others, though finding one who has experienced their own path from tragedy to triumph offers much for the nurturing of self as well. Being a transformational coach, one ought to have their own transformation, perhaps multiple times, in order to be of any value.

Indulge in some reflection focusing on past life regrets that exists due to inaction for fear of failure. By retrospection, it will give the courage to take action now versus adding to the list of regrets in life. Nothing teaches like experience and we need to take advantage of that learning to do better and fear less.

Deion Sanders said, to paraphrase. When the ball is in the air it's mine it's meant for me. When the result is uncertain expect it to fall in your favour and act with certainty.

Something we rarely consider is that what we seek is seeking us. We intend to have success, though we don't know the path. We put our attention, intention and interaction toward a dream or a goal. That sets the 'universe' or what I like to call the 'thoughtmosphere' into motion to provide you with the breadcrumbs to follow. You might miss a que or a sign and feel like you've failed when something doesn't work out like you want it to. You're 'higher self' knows better and will continue to feed you breadcrumbs. It's learning how to sense your way that is critical. We cannot think our way through a system built on vibrations (proven science), we have to sense our way. There's science in that, so considering inner work is always a good choice.
