And the key components on what it is how to identify what it's all about, and really what to do about it when it shows up, when it's not necessarily what you think. So listen up, listen close, and I'll see you real soon. Hi, everyone. It's Paul Finck the Maverick Millionaire of The Maverick Universe and you're listening to the Mavericks Do It Different podcast. Today, I want to discuss how most people don't believe they can. They don't believe they can do it, whatever that is. And I know they can't. Why I know. That's what we're gonna talk about. This discussion is gonna go into and focus on fear and the emotional blocks that keep us from living the life that we say we want living the life that we were meant to have. I'm going to do a deep dive into fear, why it's good, why it's bad. Why you must learn how to navigate these emotions in life to create a great one. When you want a different future, when you want a different life, when you want to create even more results in your business and personal life, this podcast is for you. So grab a coffee, your notebook, and let's get busy. I haven't achieved an amazing level of success. And I'm not saying this to brag. I'm expressing the fact I have created success in my life. I want to focus you in on the rest of the story. Most people see my success and others like me and think to themselves, well of course look at you. Of course you've become successful. You have confidence, obvious talent, and you're fearless. I can never do what you do. The reality is I wasn't always this person. I had to work hard to overcome my fears, my blocks my anxieties, to reach a level of success that I now cherish. I had to walk with fear until the day it decided it was not going to show up anymore. And truth be told, there still chit chat in my head to this day. I think to myself on a regular basis sometimes. And all too often that I hate to admit. Am I worthy? Am I good enough? Do people really care what I have to say? You don't see any of that. You see what's presented in front of you nothing more. And you believe it's the whole story. It never is. As an entrepreneurial coach and business consultant, I work with people all over the world. I work with them to be more to achieve more to have more in their life. Unfortunately, all too often people back away from the opportunity because of fear. They feel they can't do what ever I did. They feel like they couldn't quite make it couldn't quite go through that process. And in turn whatever I tell them to do to succeed. They believe they couldn't do that either. So what is this thing called fear? Fear is an emotion and a response to perceived or imagined threat certain danger with mental physical, chemical and emotional manifestations and responses. This emotion is understood to be an evolved trait for quick response and quick response time under extreme danger. Although our need for life and death movement is few for the average person, this evolved trait will protect us nonetheless. And this becomes even more extreme and troublesome when combined with past similar experience. Our fear then triggers the release of certain chemicals in the brain, such as adrenaline which prepares the body for fight or flight. Fear can have both positive and negative effects. Obviously the fight or flight response is a real one. On one hand, fear can be useful to protect ourselves and protect us from serious danger. It can also motivate people to take action to make positive changes in their lives. Excessive or chronic fear however, it can be harmful and debilitating. It can interfere with a person's ability to function and lead to anxiety and other mental health issues. It can also cause physiological effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. And over and above all, that fear can keep you from living the life of your dreams. All too often I have potential clients that get frozen in the decision making process. They know they want to change, they know they want more in their life, they know, I know how to create the change and deliver what could be considered magical results in their life. Yet, they get stuck, they get stopped. They just don't believe they can make it happen. They know they're afraid, and they believe they can never have will never overcome these fears to take action on what I'm teaching them. So painful for me to watch, and even more painful for them to experience knowing they're inches away from changing their life and yet cannot bring themselves to do so. What you may not know is I have faced many of fear in my day, I was afraid to speak in public for sure. I was really good one on one. However, as soon as I had the speaker, even ask a question in front of a group as small as a few people in the classroom, and clam up. Even in my 20s and 30s, I would shake and get nauseous, my palms would sweat, my voice will crack every time I was asked to speak in front of a group. Why? Why did I have this emotional response? This physical response? I think back to those days and wonder what was that about? Now speaking in front of groups is one of the most natural things I do. However, back then I remember thinking my thoughts are not as good as theirs. What I might say, Oh, they might ridicule it. They know more than I do. They think I am stupid or they will. Who knows where that came from, or frankly, who cares? He is I can now speak in front of large groups all over the world. To get from there to here. In addition to the fear of speaking, I had to face a long list of other fears. I had to overcome fear of being rejected. Fear of looking stupid, like I said, fear of success, fear of failure. I learned the techniques and strategies to move past all that and now I'm able to lend a hand to my clients to help them through the same challenges, fears blocks. So why would you hesitate? Knowing what I deliver can bring you to new heights in your life both personally and professionally. So well, there are several reasons why people might fear things even when there's no evidence of negative consequence in their life. Number one, evolutionary response I touched on this earlier, fear is an evolved mechanism that helps individuals respond quickly and effectively to potential harm. Number two, we have past experiences our past experiences can shape the way we perceive and respond to certain situations trauma abuse, negative experiences, can cause people to develop phobias or irrational fears. Number three is we have learned associations, people can develop fears through learning associations where a certain stimulus becomes associated with a traumatic event or a negative experience. Cognitive this distortions This is really key. an overgeneralization. We can exaggerate the potential harm from a situation and make it seem more dangerous than it actually is. These distortions are real and at least to the person they are to the individual. So often, I hear I can't do that it will cost too much. I'll be financially destroyed, will you they believe they are going to be financially bankrupt by risking what they have. Usually the truth is they don't have anything now to speak about nothing worthwhile. And as such, they're worried over nothing. The non distortion, if you will, is they don't want to risk nothing that have real value to get something of much greater value. It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Oh, by the way, there is no better investment than investing in yourself. And we know that.

Then we have Abraham Lincoln, the 16th, President of the United States, had a fear of public speaking also, he stammered and had a high pitched voice which made it difficult for him to speak in public. Despite his fear of Lincoln persist and worked on his speeches in delivery. He eventually became one of the greatest speakers of all time, in American history and delivered some of the most famous speeches in history. These stories show that fear is a common experience for many, many people of all types, and even those that are highly successful, but it also shows that success is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome chattel and work within it. These people have shown that with determination and hard work, they were able to overcome their fears and achieve great success. It's what I've achieved as well and experienced, and so can you reach out to me share your fears, let me guide you pass them to the life you were meant to have.
