Turning Fear Into Fuel, watch this.

What if I fail?
What if I do nothing?
What if I succeed?

My friend Jonathan Fields, author of Career Renegade, poses these questions in this TEDx presentation.  These are the questions I had to ask myself when I decided to embrace a life and a business as an artist.

What would you do if you could not fail?  Would this opportunity make you come alive?  Say it out loud, right now.  Really.  Say it out loud.

Once you’ve said it out loud and you may still be feeling fearful.  So what!  It’s natural.  See how others converted that fear into a business that expresses their passion by reading Career Renegade.

Now I admit that I’m giving a bias recommendation, because I’m profiled in Career Renegade.  But I found the other profiles very inspiring.  I particularly loved the story about the guy who found a way to make a living playing video games all day.  Almost anything is possible if you really find a way to create value for a targeted market.
