How to Manage Your Fear of Failure

Hands up who likes to fail at things? I know I can’t see you, but I’d like to wager there’s not many of you with your hands up. I used to hate to fail. To be honest, I’m still not overly keen on it but I’m a lot better at it than I used to be.

Today I want to share with you how you can keep your fear of failure under control so that it doesn’t hold you back and stop you from making the most of opportunities to do new and exciting things in your career.
