"How to Overcome Fear"
by Dr. Joe Vitale, Author

I'm in Chicago attending a Dan Kennedy event. At the first break
a young man stops me, saying he is one of my subscribers and a
big fan. I'm flattered. We talk. During the brief conversation,
he confesses that fear is what stops him from achieving anything.

Interesting. Just that very morning I had breakfast with Paul
Hartunian, famous publicity expert, when he told me, "There is no
such thing as fear."

"There isn't?" I asked Paul.

"No. You are born with only two fears," Paul explained. "The fear
of loud noises and the fear of falling. You lose those early on.
Any other fears are created by you. They aren't real." "How do
you get rid of fear?"

"Stop it."
...
... br />"Stop it?"

"Just stop it," Paul said. "Say you have a fear of bridges. If I
put one million dollars in cash on the other side and said you
could have it if you walked across the bridge, nude, in front of
a crowd of people, you'd do it. Why? Because the reward is
greater than the pain. Make the rewards greater and the fears
will vanish."

I told the young man before me the same thing.

I then went on to add that most people in business have a fear of
success, or a fear of failure. "I was just in a seminar with Ted
Nicholas," I went on. "Ted said he had failed many times, and
what he learned is that nothing bad ever happens to you when you
fail. Instead, you get life's greatest lessons."

Of course, Ted is known as the four billion dollar man because he
is now a legend in direct marketing. "As for the fear of
success," I told my new friend in Chicago, "what I've learned is
that the more successful I am, the more I can help myself, my
family, and the world." In the last week alone I had made
contributions to a new children's foundation dedicated to helping
babies suffering from a stroke at birth, and I made donations to
Paul Hartunian's dog rescue work.

"Success enables me to help myself as well as everyone else," I
said. "When you realize the good you can do as a success, the
fear evaporates." I saw a light come on in the eyes of the fellow
before me. He seemed to get it. He seemed to realize that fear
was stopping him, but that he was the one creating it, so he
could be the one to let it go. As Dan Kennedy said in
Chicago, "There is no limit to the money available. The pie is
infinite. It's up to you to go scoop it up." Fear? Stop it.

You've got a life to live, and people to help. Go for it.
