“Faith & fear have a lot in common. They both demand that you believe in something that you cannot see.” CAREER/BUSINESS ­— Bob Proctor you failed in school, must likely you would get reprimanded at home. If you fail at a job, chances are that you will get fired. I love what one of my mentors – Bob Proctor, said once: “Faith & fear have a lot in common. They both demand that you believe in something that you cannot see.” Part of being an entrepreneur is having to face failure, and learning from our mistakes, so we can learn something new and coursecorrect when needed. But, if we are afraid of failing, most of the times, we will hold ourselves back and will not even try to take different risks or do things in a different way, which could help us grow ourselves and our business. Becoming an entrepreneur requires a whole new mindset. We need to unlearn so many things that we’ve been taught. And unlearning can take work, because it requires that we get awareness of the habits, beliefs and behaviors that have been driving our lives, on auto-pilot, for years. Unlearning requires that we confront an uncomfortable reality, so we can allow ourselves to grow and move closer to our goals as heartcentered entrepreneurs. 81
