Young Internet Tycoon On The Fear We Face As Entrepreneurs


Today is actually the ten year anniversary of when the Sega Dreamcast launched.  I am sure you are asking yourself right now what this has to do with fear and being an entrepreneur?  The Dreamcast was a video game system that launched on 9-9-99.  The system had everything it needed to be successful.  It had great games and lots of innovations that were revolutionary for their time.  Regardless of all this it was a big failure.

I am sure you are wondering given all of this why it was a failure?  Within 2 years they discontinued the console for one reason, FEAR.  Sega being a Japanese company was not happy with the success in Japan even though it was successful in the United States.  To this day many loyal fans wonder why they discontinued it when they were about to hit their stride.

They were simply afraid of what was to come.  They were on the cusp of greatness and they just flat out gave up.  Does that sound familiar to you?  So many people join online businesses with the thought of becoming successful entreprenuers.  They buy e-books and other trainings and do nothing with them.  They have everything they need to be successful but they don't do it, they give up.


Fear is a powerful thing and deters many people from actually getting the life they want.  Uncertainty can be very unsettling, which is why people stay within their comfort zone.  This happens to everyone at some point, even big companies, which is why to be a successful entreprenuer you need to overcome fear.

You have everything you need to be successful.  Guidance is helpful so that way you know you are headed in the right direction, but as long as you have the desire and dedication you can make anything happen.  Just like the Dreamcast, everyone has inside of them all the tools that are needed to succeed.  What kind of fears are holding you down from accomplishing your goals?

While everyone else who has fond memories of the Dreamcast wonders today what could have been, this serves as a reminder to me what fear can do to you.  As entrepreneurs we need to develop a way to combat fear and not let it control our lives.  If you don't do this, fear is just as restricting as relying on someone else for your income.

If you had a path mapped out to you on what you needed to do to succeed would you follow it?

If you overcome fear and receive the blue print to success there would be nothing stopping you from realizing your dream.  I can't remove your fears but I can give you the blue print to success.

Keep on moving forward everyone.
