When you’re climbing a ladder, the fear of heights kicks in when you look down. If you look upward, you continue upward without being afraid.
The same is true for your business and creativity. The moment you start looking backward at what you have achieved, you risk ego puffing you up with pride as you rest on your laurels and there is also a fear of falling back down to where you were and losing what you’ve worked hard for.
Taking risk brings you to greater heights, but looking down from those higher places will fill you with a fear that prevents you from taking risks.
You will be paralyzed from doing exactly what has gained you the success you have thus far.
Don’t look down and don’t look back. Look straight ahead with bright eyes, no ego, and a willingness to work hard and risky.
