according to my own point of view I believe it is normal in all business for someone to have fear of failure in the business but if you really know much about the business and also you have a good business plan I don't think you should have any fear in you you should try to overcome fear and believe in what you know. most especially your determination and your hard work in your business will make you move forward.

Starter of any business must have previous prepared plans for each scenario that might happen so if this scenario is happened I will do A and B and C steps and then also save some money in case there is incident or incidence in work or fires like pay assurance for such unpredictable cases not just start work without thinking well what will happen in future.

It is actually in human nature that we should be scared about losing our hard-earned money. No it is not a wise idea to be scared of investing in something because someone has failed you should also avoid a situation in which you repeat the same thing. That is why it is important that you research about what made the person feel and try to change it in your own.

Fear of failure has hindered many people from trying new things in The business when a business owner is afraid this could lead to stunted business development a good business owner should be able to diversify even though most of his plans in my fails that is part of the experience because experience they say is the greatest teacher

Without risk there can not be a reward. Not taking risk in life is risky. However, one has to take a calculated risk. Sometimes we can't really blame people who are afraid of failure or venturing into new investment. It could be as a result of past unpleasant experiences. Whichever way, fear of failure due to past experience should not debar one from trying out new things. Careful research on whatever venture or investment one is going into will limit fear.

The fear of failure is the reason why most people never take decisions or steps which could have changed their destiny and lifestyle for good for ever. Life itself is about risk, life is undulating, not stable so there are ups and downs on all you do. The richest men on earth also failed many times buy not yielding to fear of failure and persistency kept them moving forward to achieve their laid down goals. The fear of failure will limit you and you may never become great, famous, rich and fulfilled in life. God has not given us the spirit of fear, if one conquers fear, there is no limit to what one can achieve in life. God told Joshua to be bold and courageous to be able to succeed as a leader and have good success.

Fear is a protective mechanism built in us to protect against real treat. Despite its protective nature, fear or fear of failure can actually stops us from success. There is a saying that those who never try never wins. One of the causes of fear of failure is a recent experience of failure in the past. Fear of family is not the same as hesitancy. In hesitancy, one is never sure whether the project or business to embark on will produce success. One may be hesitant because he or she never have or possess enough knowledge to move forward in a business or project. Although, hesitancy can lead to fear of failure.

Fear of not succeeding has killed a lot of people dreams. One thing we all fail to understand is that fear kills faster than death it self which means don't give up when it's not over or don't ever think you can not do it. Always have trust in yourself that you are the Man for the stuff and with this everything will be easy pissy for you because everything or all works will seem easy and not confronting

When it comes to investing, the fear of failure makes us either procrastinate or completely give up on the idea of investing. Most of us haven’t even realised that investing is not an option. It is a necessity. Let’s take an example of something that we do every day and comes with a risk of failure or loss our work. None of us are perfect. We often make mistakes some that are costly and others, not so much. Does the news of someone losing their job or the rising number of car accidents stop us from getting a job or driving? No. Then why do we steer clear of investing because someone else has failed at it? Food for thought.

most people have fear of failure I don't want to feel but they want to succeed but I see there is no success without failure you must feel many times before you succeed any man you see today that has success and is doing well in his or her business is because he or she has failed so many times and rise again.as a businessman you see failure as motivation issue always motivates you that is good that thing I heard that you still become great no matter what.

Investment is a sure way to earn money while doing other interesting stuff be it an hobby or something else to yield income. However, some individuals has lost their capital to a business plan that failed. And that has trigger fear in such individual. What to note is that failure is not the end of the world, failure only last for a while but longer in the mind as a means of knowledge acquired in the hard way. Don't shy away from investing and end fear of being called a failure.

The conditions most of us are, is not because we desire to be there or deserve it,but because we choose not to implement or make decisions that we can do. The idea is there,the plan is there,but the implementation is lacking. Most people fail to venture into an opportunity, because of uncertainty, because of the risk involve, because of their level of comfortability.

Fear of failure. If you one fear to fail that means the person had already fail.
Its not that one must not take precaution but not to the extent of fearing to go in to one business or the other. Every thing in life entails risk ,in fact life its self is a risk.
Without taken risk to make it life is very slim.

The fear of failure have crippled many who were supposed to be successful. Some remain comfortable in their comfort zones and forgetting that success doesn't always come from comfort zones. Most times, you have to leave your comfort zone to achieve the greatness you are meant to achieve.

Investment its good but don't blame some that shy away from investing there must be a good reason (s) behind their refusal to invest. Day by day the number of scam sites are on the increase and some naive people like me has fall into their trap, their ROI seems fascinating but at the end of the day they crash thereby running away with our money. So it's only the strong invest but giving up it's never an option.

Fear is most greatest killer over the years, it is false evidence appearing real, that thing which we fear most don't come to pass sometimes and you would have denied yourself freedom. Failure is part of the experience that makes us better in life and you don't need to run away from it. The truth is what will be will be.

Fear is a great factor that has led a lot of people as tree and made them to feel less of themselves thinking that they will never be able to accomplish anything at all .

It is very important for entrepreneurs to develop themselves and make sure that they always bear in mind that these things are normal and shouldn't make them to get scared of ever getting to start any business at all . All these people who are successfully going about their businesses today have confessed that they too have experienced similar situations in the time past .

As a matter of fact , anybody who still allows fear to be cloud your sense of reasoning is not necessarily serious about how to go about the business that they're planning to do . This is why individuals have to get someone who is successful in the business they are thinking about going into so that the person will give them some form of encouragement anytime they are getting down and fear is making them to feel so bad , especially if they have experience some little setbacks in their business and things did not go the way we planned.

The fear of failure in life and business has made also of people to do things that has ended up costing them a lost of pain. They say it is risky to take risk, and they say start in or running a business is risky, likewise some are of the opinion that life itself is a risk. Well in all these I say for sure that not taking risk because of the fear of failing is even more riskier than taking the risk in the first place. The truth about fear of failing is that it happens to everyone on planet earth, there is no body that does not at one point in time become afraid of failing in their respective endeavour in life. It is omly natural to always think of the negative and make up plans to ensure that one overcomes that negative thought by providing all the necessary solutions to ensure that such does not happen and if they do happen that they will not affect one's business or life. So we should always try to make contingent plans to limit or reduce our risk to the barest minimum. We should always take that bold step and ensure we get things done.

Well it is normal in most cases that people have to be afraid of uncertainty that could happen in their area of business mostt especially those that are planning on starting up a business. This is perfectly normal but this should not at any time overwhelmed us or make us depressed when we are interested to start up anything.

We should just try as much as possible to focus our mind on the things that could be achieved when the business succeed because that will really encourage you on how you can start up your business profitably.

There are also many ways this can be stopped and one of the most important ways is to have all the needed capital necessary to start up this business successfully until the business is capable of generating profit , this will give you the confidence to establish the business .

A proper understanding of the business is also very important and people should not overlook this for any reason. Being able to organise the business to meet up to the demands of the people is also something that could help in the progress of your business. All this must be available for a business to succeed.
