Biggest Fears in Business (And How to Face Them Head-On)

Описание: In this Get Wired Podcast episode, the host speaks candidly about common fears in business based on personal experience. Key topics include the fear of success happening faster than expected and the challenge of managing many growth initiatives at once (clothing as the core business, plus e-waste, trade-ins, live selling, and other experiments), along with the importance of setting boundaries, guidelines, and staying in control as things scale. The host also discusses recurring doubts about not being good enough, the impact of not seeing the results you expect, and the need to celebrate progress and small wins to protect confidence over the long term. Other themes include dealing with risks outside your control by building defenses and mitigations, ensuring opportunities align with values and happiness, and avoiding measuring your success by others’ metrics—especially in communities where people share numbers and profits. The episode emphasizes delayed gratification, consistent reps, and facing fear directly so it doesn’t control decisions, ending with an invitation for listeners to share their own business fears in the comments.
