Audio: Feeling the Fear (And Doing It Anyway)

by Kevin Delaney

In this excerpt from yesterday’s coaching Webinar for members of my Hollywood Hustle Habits program, I talk about the issue of fear, and how we often allow unfounded, irrational fears to hold us back in life: (5 minutes)

In what ways have you allowed your “fear of fear” to keep you from doing your best, and accomplishing what you want?

This segment is just a small sample from a 90-minute Webinar, in which we delved into many other ideas and issues — such as my “Go Where the Money Is” motto, and the difference between big fish thinking versus what I call the guppy mentality.

Hollywood Hustle HabitsHollywood Hustle Habits is a 30-day course, delivered as daily audio messages to you via email. When you sign up, you’ll get instant access to two power-packed audio Webinars from me.

In the program, I share my best strategies & insights gleaned from 15+ years of living and working in Los Angeles. Being the toughest, most competitive market in the world for entertainment, you have to learn to be “hustle minded” if you’re to survive & thrive here.

This Saturday, I’ll answer your questions, and I’ll discuss in more depth some of the key topics in the program. 

One key point I’ll cover in the call is the fear of FEAR — how the fear of feeling a certain way holds us back, and what to do about it.
