For the “high C” person, I’ve found in my coaching that if I ask the question, “What’s the worst that could happen?” it helps in uncovering those fears that may be holding you back. Do this as a vetting mechanism with every business option you’re considering, and follow up with the question, “is this a risk I can live with?” You’ll find that your perspective on risk/reward changes and there will be less resistance to move forward with your plans.
