💉 The Cure to Fear

Hey everyone,

This week I will discuss how to tackle the fears of starting your side hustle or project. I will also provide an update on my part-time solopreneur journey so far.

💭 The Big Idea

The two most common fears we face whenever we think about starting something new are the judgement of those closest to us and the fear of failure.

The simple idea that worked for me:

By shifting my focus from worrying about what others might think or the possibility of failure, I built excitement and a sense of personal ownership over my goals. It was empowering and allowed me to take the necessary steps to move towards my goals. I have also realised that often we can regret not making a particular decision that would have allowed us to do something we enjoyed or pushed us to the limit.

📝 Your Action Item: 

• Tell three people about your potential idea/side hustle (It can be family, friends or anyone you like)

This was a quick and effective method that I applied.
Sharing your potential idea with three people you trust can quickly and effectively overcome your fear of being judged whilst gaining valuable feedback. By bouncing ideas off those nearest, you can improve your vision before even starting.
It was super helpful and gave me an idea of what I wanted to execute and how to approach it best.

Let me know how it goes for all of you! I will be super excited to hear back!
P.S. Feel free to email me by replying and make me one of your three! It would be an honour 🙂 

🚙 My Solopreneur Journey: 

I have had an exciting week since I last wrote. The response to the newsletter has been positive; thanks to all of you! I have met and engaged with new people and focused on tackling down systems to help me while juggling medical school. I have had some scares, too, with things not saving, meeting deadlines etc. But, on the whole, we are getting there. It’s been super fun so far 🚀

I can’t wait to write to you all next week to share more!

In the meantime:

• If you have any feedback for me,

• Or you have any ideas for me to explore,

• Or, you would like to have a chat

please reply to this email or book a meeting with me here. I would love to hear from you!

Cheers,

Sanay
