b'Having fear is a natural part of running a business. The key is to not let those fears stop you from doing the work that you were created to do. But what do you do when those fears threaten to throw you off your game or derail you completely? You take action and keep moving forward, but sometimes you need a little inspiration to keep you going. \\xa0\\n In this episode, my friend Marie Forleo (entrepreneur extraordinaire) and I are going to share the seven biggest fears that we have personally struggled with and overcome. Our intention is to pull back the curtain to show that some of the very things you may be experiencing now may be obstacles, but they are not insurmountable.\\n This is my 10th year of running an online business and Marie is in her 20th year! We\\u2019ve seen it all and experienced ALL the fears (and still do!), so come along and let\\u2019s see if we can provide some helpful insight for you and your business! \\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\n To give you an extra dose of inspiration, I asked Marie to also share stories of her B-School students and how they, too, faced similar fears and what they did to work through them to build thriving, profitable and successful online businesses. You\\u2019re going to learn so many valuable tips and tricks that will help you navigate through similar fears when they come up in your own business. \\xa0\\xa0\\n Here\\u2019s a rundown of the 7 fears we discuss in the episode:\\n I don\\u2019t have an email list.
