The Wall...
I'm at a point where fear and embarrassment are taking over. I'm starting out in wholesaling and I have some marketing strategies ready to be deployed, however, for some reason, I feel like I've hit the wall of self-doubt.
I used to have that attitude of not worrying what people thought about me, but somewhere along the years I lost that.
How do some of you get past the self-doubt and the worrying of what people thought?

Mike H,
Honestly, the way I got past it was by having the right kind of friends. It's easier to be embarrassing when you're with a group of embarrassing people.
As to self doubt - man just realize we're all making this crap up as we go....lol. There isn't a one of us who has some sort of master plan on how this is all going to work out. We screw up and screw up and screw up until finally we don't screw up and look like geniuses. Never forget Einstein failed his college entrance exams and nearly failed grade school.
