Remastered Episode 29: What’s Holding You Back? Ep 1 – Fear
By Isaiah O’Connor
In this remastered episode, I begin the Holding You Back series by tackling fear, the most powerful and common thing that stops people from moving forward with their business goals. Fear is not just about danger; it often hides as self-doubt, uncertainty, or worry about what others might think. I explain how fear ties into many other obstacles and why learning to face it is the first step toward growth.
I share practical insights on how fear can be a signal instead of a stop sign, helping you develop resilience and take action despite discomfort. If you have felt stuck or held back, this episode will give you a clearer path forward.
