Sometimes that tightening of the chest or the sound of alarm bells when you have a bold idea is not your brain, but your nervous system.

It is designed to react to novelty and danger. It will think that a bold move out of your comfort zone is reason for alarm.

If you allow it to dominate your thinking, it will retard your progress.

You can learn to master your nervous system and get all your consciousness on board for the next moves you need to progress and grow.

Everything you do is sourced by your world view which is contained in the subconscious mind.

Every thing that has impressed you since you were a child, good or bad, has been imprinted and has decided how you will react to things that come your way.

If you have resistance to aspects of growth or imposter syndrome or procrastinate, or feel fear when you consider a big challenge, it is the subconscious mind warning you.

You can change every thing. You discover your limited thinking. You challenge it, then you reprogram, act, and celebrate.

Fear falls by the wayside

You can wind up on the different side of the river with a more productive outlook.

Becoming empowered is a transformation that affects everything you are trying to accomplish. You become a higher self with more confidence, determination, and window into all your opportunities,

Fear can be a career stopper or at least a major obstacle.

We can get past fear by becoming empowered and feeling we are entitled to success.

There are so many tactics and in this episode I have listed 9.

It is also a good introduction to my 6 hour Course on Conquering Fear.

Don't let fear get in the way of your dreams. Learn to include them. With most of these tactics, fear won't enter the door.

When interviewing it is good to remember that most of the time, interviewers are more interested in who you are and how you show more than the words.

They of course are listening, but they are reading between the lines to judge whether you have the potential to fill the role they are offering.

This episode talks about how to prepare and how to present your best self.

This begins the road to having impact. You need a great deal of resolve and stamina to get through the resistance. You need resilience.

Becoming empowered to create the influence you want to make is the start.
