What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

Entrepreneurship has been an idea that has long lingered through my every waking thought, ever since I had taken business classes in college. These classes were a result of flexing my creativity and developing my very own business ideas, pitching those ideas in class and even creating a mock campaign that had directly aligned with those ideas.

If I was guaranteed not to fail at the idea of being an entrepreneur, I would have already began my business journey- without hesitation. Unfortunately, this fear of failure also comes with a lack of confidence in even starting this career pursuit. My creativity knows no bounds and I have juggled a couple business ideas in my mind. These ideas are not in the same industry by any means but are all relative to my very own personal interests.

The fear of failure is the place where goals are laid to rest. Goal setting is a process that I participate in because I enjoy brainstorming and creating new ideas. I thrive in an environment where change is encouraged and feared. The irony behind that concept is that fear is also the one thing that is preventing me from lunging forward towards those goals.

If I could have the fear without the failure, my goals would be fulfilled. These fulfillments and successes would result in; enjoying a warm latte as I am browsing my very own locally owned bookshop with my seven year old golden retriever by my side.

I would select a comforting book with copious amounts of character development and world building, all while settling into a leathered arm chair surrounded by a couple of snake and spider plants. The old rustic cherry hardwood floors would be decorated with a few colorful rugs made of sheep’s wool. These are just some minor details that paint one of my creative visions for entrepreneurship. If fear could exist without the lingering possibility of failure, my professional career would be vastly different.
