How do you find the confidence to face your fears?

Two years ago I lost my dream job as publisher of a business magazine for the largest print and online media company in Nevada. It may seem odd but I had what felt like an equal amount of confidence and fear.

Confidence I would find another job I’d love.

I also had this dream of starting my own business but that came with overwhelming Fear that I would fail. 

Listen to what happened to change my mind about failing.

About the author: 

Debbie Donaldson published the book Superpowers Activated after realizing her own personal journal contained life balance and growth mindset motivation anyone looking for self improvement would find beneficial. As an entrepreneur and enthusiastic reader of self help books and business books, Donaldson quickly realized that her ideas for how to journal daily improved her own self talk. Although we all have strengths and weaknesses, this new success habit retrained her brain to focus on strengths instead of focusing on weaknesses that lead to self sabotage. 

As a business motivational speaker her focus is on sharing the ideas that empower her audiences with a plan for how to experience power that goes beyond personal willpower to succeed. The change in self talk she inspires in her readers gives them an internal compass for how to be confident in their own unique combination of talents, gifts and blessings combined with their knowledge skills and experience. She even credits the practice of a daily focus on strengths for helping her win her battle with cancer.

As her consulting business evolved and attracted business entrepreneurs, Donaldson began looking for ways to share her business success ideas. Within a year Donaldson completed a second book, SALES FUEL to give business owners new ideas for how to get more customers.
