F.A.B. ASSIGNMENT (Fierce Action Breakthrough)!

This week, we're getting practical with your fear. Your F.A.B. Assignment is all about taking concrete steps to break through those barriers:

• F – Fear Inventory: Identify three specific fears you have about being seen in your business. Write them down. Be brutally honest with yourself. No judgment here!
• A – Action Step: For each fear, identify one small, concrete action you can take this week to challenge it. Think bite-sized, manageable steps. For example, if you're afraid of video, your action step might be to record a short practice video, even if you don't share it publicly. If you're afraid of networking, maybe it's reaching out to one person in your industry for a virtual coffee chat.
• B – Benefit Focus: For each fear, write down one potential benefit you could experience if you overcame it. Focus on the positive outcomes. For example, if you're afraid of networking, the benefit might be connecting with potential clients, finding a mentor, or discovering new opportunities. Visualizing the positive results can be a powerful motivator.
