Have you ever been afraid to make a move, whether in business or in life, even though you knew it would change everything?

Maybe you’ve never seen anyone else do what you’re doing, and you’re afraid to get it wrong. I totally understand how that feels. However, instead of being limited by negative beliefs, I want to encourage you to allow yourself to feel the fear and still make the decision to take a step forward.

After all, every small step is an opportunity to witness God at work in your life.

Just think about it: how unfortunate would it be if you missed out on seeing your dreams come to fruition simply because you let fear stand in your way? Today can be the day that you decide to be brave.

 

Online personality and business coach Maya Elious understands what it’s like to be brave even when the next move isn’t so clear. Throughout her career, she’s taken steps of faith and pivoted in business without knowing what was waiting on the other side. 

In this episode, Maya was transparent about the fact that beneath her confident exterior is someone with fears just like yours and mine. But even still, she’s determined to not let fear take over. Along her journey, she’s had to navigate obstacles like being the youngest person in the room, showing up consistently on social media, and managing transitions within her team.

But she didn’t let any of it keep her from pushing forward. The same can be true for you.

Our conversation touches on the importance of:

  • Being still enough to gain clarity on your season
  • Finding the value in every lesson learned
  • Building a foundation of faith and breaking out of a fear-based mindset

There is so much to gain when you decide to face your fears and bet on yourself. And even if you don’t have a crowd of people cheering you on, there is nothing quite like seeing all of your hard work pay off in the end. If you’re ready to move to the next level in your personal or professional life, it may cost you something, but you have to know that you’re worth the investment. As Maya puts it, investing in yourself is often about being in the right rooms and relationships.

You position yourself for success when you…

  • Sign up for a mentorship program or conference 
  • Shadow someone who is currently doing the thing you aspire to do
  • Strengthen your skills by taking a course, listening to a podcast, or pursuing a program in your field

Whether you’re working to mature in business or in life, the time you put into developing your skills and gifts can yield positive results, even if the only evidence of change is within yourself.

I just know this conversation will energize your faith and encourage you to take the next step. Listen to this episode to learn more about how to be brave in business and in life.
