When first starting out, it's easy to fall into the trap of setting up all the things, and that's the most common response to fear of failure, as well as fear of success for that matter. 

Purchase price: $565,000 Cash invested: $30,000 After a traumatic experience as long-distance landlords, my wife had many fears and concerns about buying a house especially in the overpriced Bay Area.

His time is ticking he fears and i'd like to help but i don't want to sink myself either...

They fear losing any amount of money.

I certainly did not enjoy it at the time but learning to 1.) over come my fear of objection and 2.) sell an intangible product and 3.) work crazy hours has paid off dividends as an adult.

Act from a position of strength - not fear. 

Good evening BP members,I just wanted to know what type of things do you all do to stand out in your competitive market.I live in Dallas and all I hear is that there is a lot of competition which in turn instills fear in me because I am over here thinking " How am I even going to land my first deal with so much competition?!"

I am hopeful the gap will be more filled as the  fear of massive student loans push youngsters into tradeschools amd the workforce more and the stigma subsides as you contractors spread the word at career days👍

Do the math, look at the valuations, and then I bet that "being scared" will turn into something even scarier:  The fear of missing out.Adding some bench strength and expertise will help you decide faster if this is really something you want to do or if this is really just another job. 

Blind fear or actual facts and experience?
