Fear and lack of confidence holds us all back. The fear of what would happen if you do something or lack of confidence in yourself knowing something can be done but not believing in yourself to be able to do it.
We all have ideas that we are not sure would work or things that we don't bring into motion as we are uncertain if they will be successful. Next time you have any of these thoughts, just ask yourself "What is the worst that can happen if I do this?" As long as the answer to the question is not "You will die", then go ahead and do it.
Have an idea that you think can be a great business but are pursuing it? Go ahead and get it in to play. What is the worst that can happen? You will loose a bit of money. There are lots of jobs out there and money can be earned back.
Have a thought about how the business that employs you can be improved? Go ahead and let the manager or owner know. What is the worst that happen? It would be knocked down as not such a great idea or not implemented. At least you would be seen as someone who cared about the business and what happens in it instead of just getting paid for your work.
