Happy Monday!

I survived my Christmas shopping trip yesterday afternoon, and I got almost everything on my list plus a few new books for me! I only have one more stop to make, plus groceries to get for Christmas dinner and I’ll do that later in the week. Plus I managed to find a teeny tiny table top tree complete with lights and decorations

It’s a chilly wintery day here in Central Ontario. Shaun made it home this morning from his weekend away, so now we’ll be spending most of this week getting the house ready for Christmas and doing some last minute things. I’m hoping we get a day to go hiking because we found a new waterfront trail to try that runs along the shore of Lake Ontario.

As far as business goes, this week I’m working on a few things like adding to my Etsy shop and getting my blog and Shaun’s new blog set up and ready to go. Plus I’ve got a few things to add to the PLR store as well. I’m still debating a Boxing Day sale and that will depend on if I get enough new content in the store to make it worthwhile for you and for me.

But before then, as always there are new goodies and deals to share, so let’s start with today’s read…

Today’s Read: Do These Fears Hold You Back from Finishing What You Start?

In the last article we talked about how sometimes you start a project with all the enthusiasm in the world, and then the energy wanes to the point that you never finish it. But what if it’s not always just about energy flow? What if there’s some sort of fear that’s stopping you in your tracks, making it impossible for you to finish?

There are all kinds of fears we each face every day, and here are the three big ones that could be affecting your ability to finish the projects that you start.

Fear #1 – Fear of Failure

The fear of failure is one of the most common fears people deal with. Almost everyone will experience it at some point in their life. This fear with undoubtedly hold you back from finishing what you start.

It can hold you back from doing what needs to be done to conquer things that may be difficult or out of your comfort zone. This often leads to procrastination, and as we all know, procrastinating never really gets anything done. So, to conquer your procrastination habit, it’s time first to learn to face your fear of failure.

Fear #2 – Fear of Losing Something

Although this fear isn’t as common as a fear of failure, one of the reasons you may be putting something off is because of your fear of losing something. Whenever you complete a project, you will be putting yourself through changes.

This change can be scary and may cause you to fear losing something you currently have in your life. It would be best if you overcome this fear. Change is good and realizing this is important. Even if you do lose some things along the way, you are working towards something bigger and better.

Fear #3 – Fear of Being Judged

Another common fear is that your peers will judge you. This is the biggie for me.

When you have goals, dreams, and aspirations that might seem odd to other people, you may put them off or give up on them forever for fear of being judged.

You may not release a product that you’ve finally finished because you’re worried about what others will think of it. And it’s definitely a valid fear – if people don’t like what you’re selling, they’re not going to buy it. But, to let that fear stop you from trying is a very sad thing.

Part of life is accepting that you are okay if people judge you and your actions. You know who you are and what you are doing, so don’t let others’ perceptions of you change your behavior.

If you are struggling to finish something you’ve already started, check in with yourself and see if it’s because one of these internal fears is holding you back.

Then you can work towards conquering your fears so that you can finally finish those projects that have been hanging around your to-do list for far too long.  

And now, here are today’s deals…
