Failure does not exist.

Yes, you heard me correctly. Failure is an illusion. It is not real, meaning that it's something that you create in your mind to keep yourself safe. In effect, you make yourself fail by imagining the worst-case scenarios.

Your ego tries to convince you that you're a failure. If you choose to believe this voice, you will do anything to prevent yourself from being a “failure.” When something happens, you have a choice of how you want to interpret it.

If your expectations aren't met, it's easy to associate failure with that event. Even worse, a lot of people go one step further and internalize failure. Their life story becomes, “I'm a failure.”

They may tell themselves that they aren't good enough or that they aren't deserving of success. The feeling of fear may consume them, so much so that they purposefully engage in self-defeating behaviors. In short, they forget that a failure is an event, not a person.

If you internalize your efforts to achieve your goals and interpret them as a personal failure, your self-doubt and stress activate and strengthen your brain's involuntary neural networks. The result is that your brain is less effective at managing emotions and solving problems.

When you try something new, you will be naive about the process because you've never been through it before. This isn't a bad thing! You don't yet know the challenges that you will inevitably face along the way (that's just how life works). Life will throw you curve balls that you don't expect. You cannot control these curveballs, but you can always control how you respond to them.

What causes fear of failure?

Oftentimes, one's “failures” trigger wounds from their childhood that have yet to be healed. As an example, it is common for children who experience trauma in childhood to internalize the trauma and create fear-based rules for thinking and behaving. If these wounds aren't healed, their fears carry over into adulthood.

They attempt to avoid any potentially harmful situation that they associate with their past hurts. As you can imagine, this way of living holds them back from achieving success in life.

Here's the thing… everything that you think and feel is a direct result of a meaning that you attach to an experience. Your reality is unique to YOU. Everything in life is neutral until you show up and decide what it means to you. I know this may be hard to accept, but it's true. It's easy to forget that we are in control of how we think and feel.

If you define something as negative, that’s the message your brain receives and responds to by creating an emotional state to reinforce that reality. Once you expand your awareness and accept that you choose the meaning that you give to all things in your life, you give yourself the power to decide your emotional state.

In the words of Tony Robbins, “Nothing in life has any meaning other than the meaning you give it.”

If you perceive things that happen to you in life as failures you will get caught up in the negative emotions associated with that. This is a surefire way to spiral and stay stuck in one place. When you change the meaning that you give to something, you change your life. In short, meaning is everything.

One of the most famous “failures” of all time was Thomas Edison. He “failed” over 10,000 times before he successfully invented the lightbulb. He realized that every failed attempt provided him with invaluable lessons, new discoveries, and opportunities for growth. In many ways, he succeeded BECAUSE he failed.

The Key To Never Failing Again

The key to what I like to call “failing forward” is twofold.

First, you need to realize that failure does not exist. Once you accept that truth, failure loses its power over you. Second, never forget that, in every experience of life, there are incredible opportunities for growth. Failures are merely lessons to learn from.

It sounds counterintuitive, but the more that you fail, the closer you are to achieving the success that you desire. Don't think in terms of limitations. Rather, think in terms of possibilities. This mindset shift will catapult your growth. What can you learn from your failures? Look for the assets that will move the needle forward.

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. Your challenges are presenting you with an opportunity to become stronger. If everything in life happened the way that you thought it would, you would be bored out of your mind. You would be constantly seeking variety.

Every time that you experience something in life, whether it's good or bad, I encourage you to ask yourself, “What did I learn from this?” When you take this approach, you will start to embrace failure and make it work in your favor.

THIS is how to never fail at anything ever again.

Loss is merely an illusion. You cannot always control what happens in life. However, you can always control how you interpret and respond to what happens to you. If you can master this, you will never have to worry about failure.

Every experience will become a blessing, which will contribute to your success. In the words of Wayne Dyer, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”

Now is the time to get real with yourself… Why are you afraid of failure? Get curious. The truth will always set you free.

I encourage you to feel the fear and do it anyway.

If you're afraid of something, you're not alone. Everyone is fearful of something.

Unfortunately, we live in a fear-driven society where we are bombarded by messages telling us that the world is a dangerous place.

As a result, we become paralyzed by fear and fail to take action.

Are you ready to discover how you can conquer fear and realize your true potential in life?

Fear can be a crippling emotion.

When I was young, I lived in a state of constant fear. I didn't feel like I had control over anything in my life. It wasn't until I started getting intimate with my fears, that I soon realized how I could overcome them. I learned that fear could be my ally instead of my enemy.

In many ways, fear is a good thing. For thousands of years, it has served as a survival mechanism, keeping us safe from danger. Unfortunately, many of the fears that people experience today are irrational. As an acronym, F.E.A.R. stands for false evidence appearing real.

Fear is something that your mind fabricates, which leads you to assume that it must be real. In turn, you hold yourself back from doing the things that you want to do. Fear is merely the anticipation of pain. Your brain wants to keep you in your comfort zone, so as to protect you from potential harm. A comfort zone is a safe place to be but nothing ever grows there.

To make sense of all of this, it's important to understand that your perception of the world is created by your mind. Alfred Korzybski beautifully illustrated the difference between belief and reality when he said, “The map is not the territory“ meaning that reality exists outside our mind. However, we can construct models of this ‘territory' based on what we glimpse through our senses.

You have a life blueprint, otherwise known as your model of the world.

This is comprised of your ideas, knowledge, beliefs, values, and references. This map is your reality. However, it's not how things are. Rather, it's based on your interpretation of reality.

Does your model of the world serve you? Is your map getting you to where you want to go in life? If not, it's highly likely that you're playing it too safe. The reality is that everything that you've ever wanted, whether that's an attractive body, financial abundance, or an amazing partner – is on the other side of fear.

The person who you want to become and the life that you want to create is waiting for you, but you have to be willing to take a risk and do what others won't do. Don't hide from fear. Rather, practice acting in spite of it. More importantly, remember that being fearless doesn't mean that you're not scared. It merely means that you have chosen to transform fear into courage.

Are you ready to feel the fear and do it anyway?

The longer that you wait, the bigger your fear will become. Don't allow fear to hold you back from living life to the fullest.

Do you want to be a warning to others about how not to live or an example of what is possible? Peter McWilliams said it best – “To overcome fear, here’s all you have to do: realize the fear is there, and do the action you fear anyway.”

You can either face everything and rise or fear everything and run. The choice is yours.

Do you have a fear of starting a business? If so, you aren't alone.

Fear, worry, and self-doubt are just some of the feelings that stop people from diving into the world of entrepreneurship.

One study showed that fear is a major psychological barrier for most business owners; what sets success apart from failure is their ability to conquer it.

If you want to be successful in life, you've got to be willing to jump. Taking the first step is always the hardest part. 

Are you ready to learn how you can overcome fear and build the business you've always dreamed of?

Starting a business is a major life decision.

If you find yourself heading in the wrong direction, you owe it to yourself to shift your course. Transitioning from a 9 to 5 job to becoming an entrepreneur is a big deal. If the thought of leaving your day job freaks you out, that's totally normal. Changing the direction of your entire life is no joke.

When I decided to leave the rat race and take the leap into entrepreneurship, it wasn't exactly a smooth ride, but I still dove in. That's all that matters. I made the choice to take a road less traveled. It was a scary feeling at first, but it was the best decision I've ever made because it allowed me to live in alignment with my life purpose.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t an easy path for anyone. It's a risky venture to take. Research shows that 90 percent of new online businesses fail in the first four months. No wonder the fear of failure is so high amongst aspiring entrepreneurs. The great news is that you can make friends with your fear instead of allowing it to overpower your life.

The fact of the matter is that there will never be an ideal time to start a business. If you shy away from things that make you feel uncomfortable, you will always live in fear. A comfort zone feels good, but it won't make you grow. Smooth sailing never wins the race. You've got to be willing to do the unthinkable, and believe that anything is possible.

In his book, The Psychology of Winning: Ten Qualities of a Total Winner, Denis Waitley says that it's not just talent, hard work, and/or luck that makes a super performer. Rather, it’s the mindset that determines whether they succeed or fail. 

The problem is that your brain wants you to fail.

The only purpose of your brain is to keep you safe and protected. It will constantly make you doubt every opportunity that comes your way. Fortunately, you can rewire your brain to stop protecting you. The best way to do this is by embracing failure. 

If you want to be successful in life, you have to accept that failure is just a steppingstone towards figuring things out. Failure is what allows you to develop the resilience to keep moving forward no matter how many times you get knocked down. This is why I encourage you to fail forward on a daily basis. This means taking risks, improving your skills, and learning from your mistakes. 

When it comes to starting a business, nobody has all of the answers. The worst thing that you can do is not try. Sometimes you've just got to take a chance, get in the game and start doing something. Don't wait for the perfect moment to start your business. Rather, just take one step forward. That's how you will find your groove.

Don't let the fear of starting a business hold you back.

On the other side of fear is everything you've always wanted. The only way that you will overcome fear is if you are willing to take action in spite of it. As Henry Ford once said, “One of the greatest discoveries a man makes is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” 

What would you do if you weren't afraid? Now is the time to make your dreams of becoming an entrepreneur a reality.

If you've ever wondered why I do what I do, I'm here to answer that question.

Imagine that you didn't have to work for money anymore. Would you still work? When I first started learning from other people I remember being curious about this. People always ask me, “Stefan, if you are so successful in your life, then why would you share your knowledge, secrets, and strategies with others?”

People tend to think that, if you selfishly keep knowledge to yourself, then you will be able to prosper even more. It's based on the belief that the more people that know about a great opportunity, the more difficult it will be to achieve success. The skeptics love this way of thinking, but it's never been a part of my reality.

Are you ready to learn why I do what I do? In the words of Pablo Picasso, “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”

I believe that there is more than enough for everybody. However, not everyone shares my belief. People that live in scarcity have a hard time seeing or believing my perspective. They convince themselves that life is limited and that opportunities are few and far between. This is far from true.

Do you adopt an abundance mindset or a scarcity mindset?

In his research, Princeton University psychology and public affairs professor Eldar Shafir explores how people's minds are less efficient when they feel they lack something. When we feel lack, it wreaks havoc on our cognitive and decision-making abilities. Not everyone is selfish and just focused on making money. Some people actually want to make a difference and help people, even at their own expense.

This is my purpose in life.

There is a lot of joy, happiness, and fulfillment that comes when you serve and contribute to something greater than yourself. A mentor of mine once said, “You'll never be great in life when you only focus on yourself. The only way to become great in life is when you serve something greater than yourself.”

Do I want to make money? Of course. I want to be financially abundant so that I can continue to invest in myself, take care of my family and my kids, and contribute to non-profit organizations. I want to continue growing my team so that my business can flourish and I can serve even more people than I already do.

Some people judge me and say that all I want to do is make money. There is no way that I could do what I do if I didn't make money. A business has to make money. It's the #1 goal of any business out there. I couldn't create free YouTube videos, podcasts, and blog posts, nor could I have an amazing team behind me, if I didn't make money.

If you could be more abundant with your health, then should you? Of course! If you could make more money, then should you? Of course! Abundance is abundance. It doesn't matter what label you attach to it. I'm driven by money, but I'm driven more by contribution.

I want to be a person of value. 

I've always believed that, if you want to earn more money in life, think about how you can be more valuable in life. This is the place from which money flows. If you want to build a brand, a solid reputation, and create trust with people you can't solely be focused on making money. Money is only a byproduct of creating value in the marketplace. I wouldn't have been able to build my brand to where it is today if I was just focused on money.

When you are building a business that is focusing on serving, you aren't operating on fear and scarcity. I operate from the belief that Zig Ziglar has, which is that, “If you help enough people get what they want, then you too can have what you want.”

In order to have more, you must give more.

People who have a scarcity mentality have a difficult time grasping the concept of contribution. When you hold onto fear for dear life, you don't have anything to give because you are so scared of losing what you already have. That's what you have to free yourself from.

I do what I do because I love it. I've been through a lot of challenges in my life. It took me so many years to overcome what I've been through in order to get to where I am today. When you finally overcome the problems that you've struggled with in your life and you achieve something great, all that you want to do is share that knowledge with others. You want to prevent people from going through the same suffering that you did.

I want to inspire people to become the masters of their lives. 

I've worked hard to get to where I am today, but in the grand scheme of things, money isn't what fulfills me. I live by Andrew Carnegie's words who said, “I spent the first half of my life making money and the second half of my life giving it away to do the most good and the least harm.” I love this approach to life.

The next time that someone asks me why I do what I do, I can send them this video! This is me, in full transparency, speaking from my heart. You may be skeptical that my bigger mission in life is to contribute instead of just making money, and that is OK. At the end of the day, all that matters is that I can look at the image staring back at me in the mirror and be proud. I'm leaving you with a powerful message from Kamal Ravikant.

In his book, Live Your Truth he said, “Reach out, share your truth, tell someone, ‘This is who I am. This is what I stand for. Hold me to it.' Often, we'll do far more for another than we will do for ourselves.”  This is my truth.

Are you a people pleaser? Do you bend over backward to satisfy others, sacrificing your own needs and desires in the process? If so, you are at risk of being taken advantage of.

I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't be kind to people, but it's important that you develop healthy boundaries so that you are making your needs a priority as well.

According to Susan Newman, author of, The Book of No: 250 Ways to Say It—And Mean It and Stop People-Pleasing Forever, people-pleasers “want everyone around them to be happy and they will do whatever is asked of them to keep it that way.”

Are you ready to learn why being ‘too nice' can be dangerous, and how you can shift your people-pleasing patterns and set healthy boundaries for yourself?

Are you ready to learn how to master every area of your life? CLICK HERE to join my Life Mastery Accelerator program!

People pleasers tend to confuse pleasing people with being kind. Satisfying their own needs is deemed as ‘selfish.' When they do say no, it sends them into a spiral of anxiety and guilt, for fear that they have let others down.

As psychologist Harriet Braiker says, ‘to please is a disease.' The need to please can become an addiction that results in the neglect of your personal needs.

Oftentimes, the desire to please others comes from a deep-seeded need for social acceptance and connection from others.

Unfortunately, saying yes to everything and everybody is not a recipe for happiness or success in life. It's all about striking a balance.

The act of setting boundaries with regards to how much you're willing to do for others isn't selfish. Rather, it's healthy, and it's one of the best ways to reduce your people-pleasing habits.

Research proves that the more a person acts authentically, the more likely he or she is to be happy and experience subjective and psychological well-being.

Living from a place of authenticity is a form of self-respect. It's about listening to your gut and taking care of your needs first.

Are you a people pleaser? If so, here are 3 ways that you can break free from your people-pleasing patterns and build healthier boundaries.

1. Tune into your inner voice 

When someone asks you to do something, pay attention to how your body reacts. What does your inner voice tell you? Are you drowning it out? Why?

When you become more self-aware of the reasons why you feel the need to say yes all of the time, you will feel more empowered to make a change and stand up for yourself.

Practice taking action based on what your inner voice tells you. Just like a muscle, your inner voice becomes stronger the more that you use it.

2. Take care of yourself

People-pleasers tend to devote very little time to taking care of themselves. By putting yourself first and nourishing your higher self, it will give you the emotional energy that you need in order to be there for others.

When we treat ourselves with love and respect, others will do the same.

Sherry Pagoto, a psychologist and professor of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, says that, “The first step in achieving better boundaries is believing that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.”

When you start acknowledging that your needs matter, you start making decisions from this place, and your boundaries become more clearly defined.

3. Re-evaluate Your Friendships

If the people in your life are constantly taking from you and not acknowledging your feelings, these people aren't your friends.

Oftentimes, people pleasers don't say no, for fear that they will lose friends or that people will think less of them.

Start recognizing when you are being taken advantage of. Every healthy relationship has a give-and-take dynamic. If you are always giving and someone is always taking, you need to re-evaluate that friendship or let it go entirely.

Are you a people pleaser? If so, I challenge you to build healthy boundaries so that you can break free from your people-pleasing patterns.

The result? A happier, healthier, and more balanced life where YOU are your #1 priority.

In the words of Mandy Hale, “It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It's necessary.”

I want to share with you 5 brutal truths about life no one wants to admit. It’s a lot easier to be ignorant to the realities of life.

However, the more time that we spend pretending that truths aren’t a part of our reality, the more time that we waste not living in alignment with our true selves.

Is ignorance bliss? Absolutely not. The fact of the matter is that if we want to grow and expand, we need to be honest with ourselves. We need to be willing to open our minds, and see the world through a different lens.

These 5 brutal truths about life that no one wants to admit will remind you of what is important and will empower you to take control of your life.

In the words of Maya Angelou, “When you know better, you do better.”

Do you want to learn how to create an empowering morning ritual? CLICK HERE to join my course, Morning Ritual Mastery!

Here are 5 truths about life no one wants to admit:

1. You can’t make everyone happy

This is a battle that you will never win. No matter how hard that you try, there are people out there that you just can’t make happy. The sooner that you can accept this, the freer that you will be.

You need to accept the fact that most people just don't desire to be happy because they are attached to their current state of living. They don't want to give up their stories, excuses, and limitations of why they CAN be happy. According to research, thinking pessimistically is a staple in the depressed person’s cognitive structure.

Not only can you not make everyone happy, but not everyone is going to like you. There is always going to be someone that will criticize and judge you, based on how you look, how you sound, and how you live your life.

The most successful people throughout history have critics. I’m not for everyone, and that’s OK. The sooner that you accept this fact, the sooner you will not be affected by negative people. All that really matters in life is what you think about YOU. 

2. You will never be perfect

No matter how hard you try, you will never be perfect. So many of us hold ourselves to such a high standard, that it ends up creating a lot of suffering.

You need to recognize that it’s OK to make mistakes in life. Everyone has bad days. The earlier that you can embrace that you aren’t perfect, the happier that you will be.

A lot of people are held back in their lives because they become paralyzed by the fear that they will fail at the very things that they want to accomplish. As a result, they never take action.

If you consider yourself to be a perfectionist, it is critical that you break the loop and shift your mindset. It can take away from your most important asset, which is time, leaving you feeling mentally exhausted. 

Instead of focusing on perfectionism, go for ‘good enough.’ Do the best that you can with the tools that you have. If you wait for conditions to be perfect before you start anything, you will never start.

3. Nothing in the external world makes you happy

Material possessions will never make you happy in life. All that they will do is provide you with short-term pleasure and gratification. Researchers have a term for it – it’s called, “retail therapy.”

Happiness is an inside job; it is something that we create each moment of our lives. You could be happy right now, simply by focusing on what you are grateful for. 

This is why I believe in the power of morning rituals. Spend time every morning focusing on the things that nourish your mind, body, and soul.

4. One day, you will die

A lot of people are afraid of the idea of death, but what if it wasn’t as scary as you think? It all comes down to your beliefs.

Rather than fear it, I think that death is empowering. I don’t fear it because my belief is that our spirit carries on after we leave our physical body.

We are on this planet for a limited amount of time. It's a sobering fact, but it’s true. We live our lives pretending that the end is never going to come. When you embrace the concept of death, it empowers you to cherish life even more.

This is best reflected in one of my favorite quotes by Michael Landon Jr. that reads, “Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”

Research has indicated that the East Asian yin and yang philosophy of death – where life can’t exist without death – allows individuals to use death as a reminder to enjoy life.

The reality is that we will all meet the same fate as one another, so while we are on this earth we need to seize every moment and live it to the fullest. In the words of Giovanni Falcone, “He who doesn’t fear death only dies once.”

5. Time is the most valuable asset

Time is the most valuable asset that you have. Second by second, you are given the opportunity to become the person that you desire to be. How do you use your time?

Spend your time doing things that bring meaning to your life and that make you come alive inside. The moment that I realized how important this was, I stopped wasting time on things that didn’t matter. Every day I focus on making sure that everything that I do has a purpose behind it.

The reality is that time is depreciating. We can't get more of it, which is why we need to spend it wisely. Don't spend ANY time doing anything that isn't bringing you closer towards the person that you desire to be.

I hope these 5 brutal truths about life no one wants to admit have opened your eyes and offered a different perspective. Don’t let these truths hold you back. Rather, let them empower you to take action and create your reality, on your terms.

Here is a sneak peak of my interview with Tatiana about how she went from $0 to $50,000 per month on Amazon at 23 years old:

For those people who have yet to watch our first video interview together, can you share a little bit about how you got started selling on Amazon?

I was working a 9-5 job and attending school, full-time when I decided to start an online business. I didn't have a lot of freedom at the time, and that became even more apparent when I started to date Stefan, who as you know, works from his laptop and has the ability to travel and work when he wants.

At the onset, I didn't want to start an online business selling on Amazon because I didn't think that I had the skills to do so. There are so many different ways to make money online, so I decided that I would give it a try. I started to sell a product and made some money doing so, but I wasn't passionate about it. Eventually, Stefan and I found a course called Amazing Selling Machine.

From that course, we learned how to build an online physical products business. From the first module of the ASM course, I was hooked. They shared testimonials from people who had been through the course and who had experienced massive success. I wouldn’t have been able to build a physical products business without this course. 

What do you see as the biggest struggles that hold people back from starting an online business?

I think that people don't want to invest their money into a business, for fear that something will go wrong. Even if something does go wrong, learn from your mistakes so that you can improve your business over the long-term. People are also scared of quitting their job, but you don't have to, and I don't recommend it. Build your online business in your spare time until you build it up to a place where it is stable and can provide you with an income.

How has your life changed since starting your online business?

My goal with this business was to be able to quit my job and make enough money to live off of and build an online brand. I reinvest a lot of the money that I make so that I can grow my brand. Sure, I am now working a lot more hours than I ever was at my day job, but I enjoy it because it is something that I am passionate about. I'm not just working for a paycheck. Rather, I'm working to build an asset.

That's what is so great about the ASM event, is that you have a community of people that are on the same path as you that support you. Oftentimes, Amazon sellers aren’t as transparent about their success online, which is why the ASM community is so great. My life has changed dramatically since starting my online business, and it wasn't until I attended the ASM event and saw people that were doing phenomenally well selling on Amazon that my mindset shifted and I was determined to make it work.

What advice would you give to those people who want to take a leap of faith and build an online business on Amazon?

Open your mind to believing that anything is possible, work on yourself, find your passion, and take charge of your life. If this is what you want to do, just do it. Freedom has always been a motivating factor for me, and now that I have it, it has changed my life in so many ways. Before I had an online business, I was so time-restricted, but now I have the opportunity to do the things that I love every day. The more that your business grows, the more time that you will have. 

I hope Tatiana’s story of success inspires you to take a leap of faith and start your own online business. This is how she went from $0 to $50,000 per month on Amazon at 23 years old.

Having a fear of losing money is a scarcity mentality, and it reveals itself as a feeling that you don’t have the finances necessary in order to live the life that you desire. The reality is that money is easily made. What is your relationship with money? If you believe that it’s hard to make money, you won’t make any. That’s how the Law of Attraction works. What you believe becomes your reality.

If you want to learn how to overcome the fear of losing money when starting an online business, reprogram your beliefs around money. Think about it through the lens of abundance and freedom. If you’ve ever made a bad business decision that has resulted in failure, congrats! Failure is a good thing. Don’t let your ego tell you differently.

In his book, Adapt: Why Success Always Starts With Failure, Tim Harford writes that, “Success comes through rapidly fixing our mistakes rather than getting things right the first time.”

If you invested time and money into something that didn’t work, look at what you learned from the process. Use that knowledge as fuel to propel you forward. I always say that the more you learn, the more you earn. It took me three years before I started making any real money in my online business. I failed a lot during those years, but the knowledge that I learned is what has allowed me to achieve so much success.

This is the mindset that every successful person adopts with regards to failure. In actuality, if you want to succeed in life, fail more. Thomas Edison said it best – “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”

The predominant school of thought in forward-thinking organizations today is that great success depends on great risk, and failure is simply an after-effect.

One of the best ways to avoid losing money in your online business in the first place is by learning from other peoples’ successes and failures, through training, courses, seminars, mentors, and coaches.

Doing so will give you the confidence, certainty, and feedback that you need in order to know that you are on the right track. Moreover, it will save you a lot of time and money.

In the event that you do lose money at the onset of starting your online business, let’s explore some strategies that you can adopt in order to recoup back the investments that you make.

Let’s say that you invest time and money into writing an eBook that you want to publish on Amazon. You use a service like Fiverr to create an amazing book cover, but the book doesn’t end up selling like you thought it would, and you lose money.

One strategy to recoup your investment is to unpublish the book. Keep in mind that you still have the content. You could rebrand the book and republish the same content under a new title so that it’s better optimized under a new keyword, and then relaunch it so that it sells better.

Instead of putting your head in the sand when something goes wrong, think outside the box and be creative.

When starting an online business, the biggest challenge that people face is a lack of confidence and little belief that they will succeed. The best way to gain confidence and self-efficacy is to get out of your comfort zone.

Be more afraid of what your life will look like if you don’t take a leap of faith to start your online business. In the words of Harvard dropout and Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, “The biggest risk is not taking any risk.”

I hope these strategies for how to overcome the fear of losing money when starting an online business inspire you to change your mindset around money and take massive action. Success is yours for the taking!
