Working on Something New? Don't Bottle Fear In, Blurt It Out w/ Naz Perez

Something most people underestimate about having a big vision is the process of bringing other people on board. 

Whether it's an investment partner or a strategic collaborator, we're required to communicate what we see, open ourselves up to their opinions, and invite them to join us on a journey to an uncharted territory. 

It's a vulnerable place, so of course, old fears, old stories, and upper limits will come up. 

How do we get them to trust us and see what we see? How do we silence those old stories from past experiences? 

For most change-makers dealing with the fear of executing a big vision, the natural response is to keep all the anxiety to yourself. Bottle it in so people don't think you aren't cut out for it. 

The problem is this isolates us and makes connection and collaboration impossible. 

Instead of hiding your feelings, try this instead: Voice and share what you're experiencing and let people in on what's going on internally. 

This will create a new space where people can collaborate with and contribute to you rather than having to get in line and follow you. Then, you can proceed together and create something beautiful. 

How do we get underneath the old stories and figure out where they come from? 

How do we open up about our fears? 

In this special coaching episode, we're joined by TV Producer, Host, and Podcaster Naz Perez. She shares her recent experience of bringing a vision to reality. 

Things You'll Learn In This Episode 

-From either/or to both/and

One of the most common manifestations of the Upper Limit problem is thinking of a situation in binary terms. How do we shift to seeing more possibilities? 

-Transparency creates trust

When it comes to voicing our vision, we often avoid sharing our anxieties and fears because we think it might stall the project. Can opening up move things forward faster? 

-Support your magnificence

In unknown territory, it's easy to start changing yourself to fit in. Why must we avoid this?
