The #1 thing you can do to conquer fear is to put more weight on your ‘dream’ scale, than you do on your ‘fear’ scale. Simply put, if the dream is strong enough, so should your desire to overcome the fear of taking steps to achieve it.
Many people who enter the world of property investing usually come into it with big dreams and have more than likely negotiated with themselves the fear vs dream equation.
Whenever you are fearful about something, ask yourself if you have good enough reason to step out of your comfort zone? If your reason or your ‘why’ is not strong, it’s highly likely you will succumb to fear and do nothing.
If you’re afraid of taking action or making a mistake, the easiest action for most people is to ‘think about it’ for 6 months or so. And then, before they know it, 6 years have flown by.
This is why we always encourage people to start with a dream, to create a powerful why that propels you into taking action and importantly, motivates you to keep going.
Once you have a compelling reason to face fear, you can start to conquer it by taking calculated risks, surrounding yourself with the right people, getting advice on putting a strategic plan in place and realising that although it’s a long journey ahead, you’re on the right path to achieving your dream.

By keeping your dream or your end goal in mind every step of the way, you’ll soon find that your original fear has ‘magically’ disappeared.
Another thing to keep in mind, is that when you’re faced with a decision, whether you take action or not, you’re still going to go through the same pressure that comes with any important decision-making process.
