Hello Scott, I am looking to start a new business but I have this fear I won't be able to see it through to the finish line. I have this fear that it won't workout for me so I am doubting myself every single time. I need your advice, should I just power through or get help or advice from professionals or maybe someone in the same field. Thank you
Hi,
Shiru Elizabeth,
Thank you for your question.
I can tell from your question that you either (1) didn't read
my book in full, (2) skim-read it, or (3) are actively choosing to not follow the eleven numbered suggestions at the end, which are infinitely easy to follow.
You marked in the survey that you did read the full book and that you understood and agreed with every single sentence in the book, but that appears to be a lie. It seems like you lied when you filled out the survey.
That is because your question above directly contradicts crucial points that are clearly, explicitly, and repetitively made in
my book.
In my book, I say that there is nothing you must do.
In my book, I say that there is nothing you need to do.
And yet in your question, you use the miserable word 'need' to say that you need my advice. You don't need my advice. You don't need anything. If you read and agreed with everything in
my book, you already agree that you don't need anything and therefore don't need my advice.
In my book, I have an entire chapter dedicated to letting go of the miserable words 'should' and 'ought'.
And yet, your question uses the miserable word 'should'.
I don't say any of that to shame you or with any hurt feelings on my end. Instead, I point out all of the above just so I can give you my advice, which is this:
My advice to you is to carefully re-read
my book, without any skim reading at all.
While reading it, if you either do not understand even a single sentence or disagree with even a single sentence, immediately stop reading and post a verbatim copy of the sentence in the corresponding topic below:
Did you understand every sentence in the book, "In It Together"? If not, what part did you first not understand?
Do you agree with everything in the book, "In It Together"? If not, what is the first sentence with which you disagree?
Then, when you can honestly and truly say that you have read
my book in full and understood and agreed with every sentence, please do come back here and ask your question if you still have one. But, by that point, you most likely won't.
After you read my book and accept its teachings, the problem(s) you think you may have that you want to ask me about will likely have been revealed as imaginary problems that don't really exist. Typically, as soon as you stop believing a nightmare is real, the unreal nightmare stops torturing you.
As I say in
my book,
an imaginary roadblock is as effective as a real one, at least to the degree you believe it is real. Likewise, an imaginary hellish nightmare is typically just as painful and torturous and nightmarish as a real one, at least to the degree it is real. But that's also where the beautiful salvation is revealed: As soon as you stop believing the imaginary roadblock is real, it stops blocking you. As soon as you stop believing the imaginary problems are real, they stop being problematic. As soon as you stop believing that imaginary hardness is real, things stop feeling hard.
Then, you are not only free to do the things you thought were impossible or "hard" but even more wonderfully, you are able to do them with infinite ease.
Once you stop believing in it, even the biggest imaginary roadblock becomes no roadblock at all.
The seemingly impossible is revealed not only as not impossible but as not even hard. Much of the seemingly impossible is revealed as actually being infinitely easy.
With love,
Eckhart Aurelius Hughes
