Cultivating Fearlessness with Peter Scott - 175
Some fear is great because it keeps us alive. Are you afraid of making a left turn out into traffic when there's not an opening? Good. Don't die. Other fears, while they feel exactly the same in our bodies, are less useful. Are you afraid of sales conversations with prospects? Or of public speaking? Or of raising your membership prices? Yeah? We need to talk about that. This week, we met up with Peter Scott of Fearless Life Experience to talk about the fears that stand in our way and how to conquer them. A former investment banker, Peter shares his personal story about how fear got him into a career that he found to be empty and unhealthy. Once he recognized that fear was his primary motivation and saw the ruinous path he was on, he changed course and transformed his life. Now he coaches other entrepreneurs on fearless living, which leads not only to a life that's more fulfilling but a business that's more profitable. By confronting fears head-on, Peter takes us through the small and big things we can do to transform our fears (which may manifest as stress, anxiety, or worry) into confidence. Listen in to discover what might be waiting for you on the other side of your fear breakthrough. On This Week's Episode of Barbell Business, We Interview Peter Scott to Discuss: The difference between rational and irrational fear How competence leads to confidence The personal and business benefits of a fearless life How to confront fear and transform it into confidence
