Overcoming Fear

Hi Everyone!  Happy Thanksgiving!

I have a new topic that I think you’ll be interested in.

“Fear”

I keep having experiences where I’ve had the opportunity to overcome fear.  Most of the time I do.

I heard recently fear is something that we all have in common.  Its the thread that binds us all.  At least it can be in a positive way if we help each other to overcome them.  I’m thinking that there must be someone out there that has overcome the very fear we are experiencing.

As you probably know fear stands for “False Events Appearing Real”. So most of the time its in our thinking that makes it seem so real.

I believe this is the number one way that the “evil one” takes hold of us.  So when it happens, I stop, take note, write about it and call a friend i  trust

And of course, I pray about it.

Here’s a perfect example of how i overcame the fear of not knowing what to do on a clients books.

I met a woman from my website that needed help with bookkeeping and taxes.  I got so excited when i met her i did not take time as to whether i should be afraid or not.  I did think that I had another client that manages inventory and that this would the perfect client to work with next.

Then I remembered that I have avoided clients with inventory because it was a difficult subject in college for me. Yipes!  it was too late to turn around. Ok I have a couple of people in the CPA world that can help me. And I can always call Quickbooks to assist me as well.

Then I made a list of all the situations about this client that were new to me. I don’t know if that was good or bad but i found myself in fear over it. Yuk!  Oftentimes I wake up in fear, so it helps to pray myself out of bed:).

It  always helps to write about my day before bed. It usually has some fear associated with it.  Its a bad idea to go to bed in fear.  The evil one preys on us when we sleep (How cunning!).

So, as I started to work with this client, I noticed that its problems were not associated with inventory but bank reconciliations,tax returns and IRS representation. Those areas I am very qualified in.

Also, as I was already hired on,IRS came knocking at their door.  They were terrified but I was excited.  I knew I could help them and they would be willing to pay me top dollar.  They did and its going very well.

I have more examples and exercises I use to overcome fear.  I’d like to share these with you. And by all means, share you successes with us.
