Fear will keep you stuck, don’t let it

[0:00]and I keep hearing this concept about how majority of people that are successful, they're not scared to pivot or kind of try new things. Um I think a lot of people start something and they think that they have to do that forever and whatever that means for you. I mean for everyone it's different. Some people maybe you went to school and you started a career, but maybe it's not for you, but you're too scared to try something new. Maybe you started a business and it's the business that you've been doing for the last five or 10 years and you're at a point where you realize it's not at all what you wanted to do. I first built wealth by investing in short-term rentals by renting. I then bought a home. I made that home a short-term rental. I then started coaching, I sold digital products, I sold services and now I have been an entrepreneur like running real business for like five years now and I've learned a lot. I think I will always continue to invest in real estate. That is not changing at all. Actually, the more that I generate more income, I just want to take that and buy more homes and turn them into short-term rentals because I'd rather own the assets than just operating them. But I'm literally in China trying to figure out how to be successful at my clothing business. And it's really scary. Like, I'll say honestly, even just thinking about it, talking about it like I could tear up because it's scary. Like I'm putting everything I have into this brand, and when it's so attached to you as a person, that's also scary. Like my name is attached to it. My brand name is Inayah. And the reason that I made it my name is because I do think that the name has so much beauty and meaning, especially for a modest clothing company. The name Inayash is an Arabic name, and it means care, compassion, protection, which I think is everything that my brand embodies. And so don't be afraid to just try new things and to go after what you want to do. I will say, if you never start, you don't even have the chance to succeed, and if you never start, then you never know if you would have been good at it. I don't know, listen to any successful person, and they could tell you that there was a point where they thought that it was all going to crumble. or they thought that they were going to fail, or they had no idea what they were doing. It's okay to question if you're on the right path. Instead of focusing so much on the past, focus on the future. Focus on people that you can learn from, people that you can benefit from in terms of just like gaining new insight, perspective, mindset, and things like that instead of maybe the past. It's not helping you that much. But yeah, I guess this was just a bit of a rant, but moral of the story, don't be afraid. Well, you will be afraid, but at least just try and don't like half try, like don't if you're going to try, try, like give it everything you have. I can tell you with the clothing company. I'm just starting and I know I'm still a baby in it. Like I don't know what I'm doing and I'm just figuring it out. But I'm just praying that I have enough grace to go through the journey and figure it out and learn. We're all going to be babies in the things that we're just trying and just starting, but that's just part of it. And you just have to go through that. So
