01: Courage Over Confidence: Action is the cure for fear

Makers Gonna Sell: A Podcast for Creative Entrepreneurs with Cheryl Ham and Nicky Avery

Welcome to our very first episode of the Makers Gonna Sell podcast! In this episode, we're talking about why you don't need confidence to start a business and how we can still do big, scary things, even when we're terrified.

We all know that starting a business is hard. But what if you're not confident enough to start? Most people are afraid of failure, so they never take action on their dreams.

This week we're discussing why fear holds us back - and what we can do about it.

Get ready for an empowering discussion that will leave you feeling like anything's possible!
