I’ve been mistakenly referring to the people I most admire as “fearless,” when the right word is “brave.” No one is fearless.

Amy Cuddy is right.
No one comes to the arena without fear. Whether it’s trying a case, calling a new referral source, or attending a networking event, everyone feels it.
Sometimes we compare ourselves negatively to others. It may look like they have no fear, but that’s not the case. Everyone feels it.
Now you’ve got to decide. Are you going to let the fear stop you from achieving the things that matter to you? Or are you going to be brave?
