Publisher's summary

How many times have you missed out on an opportunity that could have changed your life, all because you were too afraid? Is the fear of failing making you procrastinate? Does your perfectionism stop you from taking action? Then, keep on reading....

Everyone experiences failure at some point in their life. In our society, success is celebrated, while failure is considered something that we need to stay away from. But should failure be something we’re so embarrassed about, that’s making us feel worthless?

I'm no stranger to failure; I have wasted many years and so many opportunities because I wasn’t feeling ready or good enough. Constant worry and self-doubt in my abilities made me feel imprisoned, hopeless, and miserable. I was trapped in awful imaginary scenarios. Fear held me back more than any other obstacle. I understand how it feels when the voice inside your head always looks for a way to hold you back. But now it's time you start nurturing a new voice: one that reminds you that you're good enough and that encourages you to push through when all seems to fall apart.

With this audiobook, you will discover:

• Where your fear of failure originates from and how to overcome it
• How to fight off perfectionism and become an action taker
• Why you shouldn’t rely on motivation to get things done and what you can do instead
• Practical ways to fight off your inner demons: worry and the critical inner voice
• How to desensitize yourself from the pain of rejection

And much more...

Even if you dealt with worry, self-doubt, and paralyzing fear since you’ve known yourself, the information from this book is simple, practical, and here to help you get unstuck.

Don’t wait for someone else to change your life. If you want to overcome your fear of failure, stop procrastinating, and fight perfectionism, listen to this audiobook now.

So very helpful!!!

As someone who suffers from depression and ADHD, I have a very hard time with time management, focusing and feeling motivated to get things done. This book really helped me use my energy in the right way and really take action!

Fear no more

I loved this book. It helped me to understand and label my fears. It gave me ideas on how to overcome and succeed. I'm going to keep on striving and not let my fears control me.

Uplifting

I was skeptical on reading this book. But today as I finished it, I am glad I read it. It provide logical tools that make complete sense to me. I will recommend this book to anyone I know that has been struggling with moving forward.

Exceptional

Narrator put across the idea or process with intention in her voice, a sense of compassion. I will set it aside for a week to think about the conversations but will pick it up again, and listen again, hopeful and look for my pain to become joy. Thank you both!

Best book on Fear and Failure

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I listened to the audio but I want to buy the hard copy bc it’s definitely a textbook for life. I will be listening to this book on repeat bc once is not enough.

The fear of failure is powerful!

This book is instructive, informative, and helpful in dealing with the problem of worrying, Overcoming Procrastination, and Perfectionism. I had this problem, and sometimes still deal with it. This book has got right to the point, and I would encourage you to get a copy to put in your library, today!

Perfection is the enemy

We've all have that friend (or maybe we're that friend) that says, "Well, I'm a perfectionist so..." We hear it all the time and most of the time, it's used as a crutch. Not intentionally but that mindset still gets in the way of actually taking action and seeing something through to completion. I know I've dealt with this and this book is here to help. Take a listen and put into action what it says. Stop stopping yourself from doing what you need to do or even what you really want to do. Life is too short to do nothing, procrastinate, and hide behind "perfectionism" as if that was ever a good excuse. You're awesome and this book is here to help you prove it.

just what I needed!

It's a short but very helpful audiobook! There have been several times during my career where I didn't take action or didn't say what I thought and now I regret it! Thanks to Wilda I'm now learning how to believe more in myself and start loving failure because in every failure we can learn something!

Extremely motivational.

Overall this was a great read. I found it that there were a lot of things said that I already use in my life however, reminders and confirmations are always great to hear.
