Face Your Business Fears This Halloween: How to Turn Frights into Profits”

Are your business fears lurking like spooky shadows this Halloween? 👻

• From picking up the phone to asking for the sale,
• dealing with tricky employees,
• chasing unpaid invoices

Fear can sneak up on every entrepreneur.

You worry about the consequences: “What if they say no?” or “I don’t want to upset a good client.”

Here’s the scary truth: A customer who doesn’t pay isn’t really a customer at all.

Many business owners hope their fears will disappear on their own—like ghosts vanishing at dawn—but they rarely do. Instead, it’s time to shine a flashlight on them and see what’s really going on.

Ask yourself: what are all the possible outcomes of your actions—not just the terrifying ones?

Sure, asking for a sale might bring a “no,” but it could also lead to a “yes” or a “maybe” if your prospect just needs more information. Even a “no” can be a “not right now,” keeping the door open for future opportunities.

Picture the outcome you really want—a successful sale, a smooth conversation, a resolved issue—and try to step into your prospect’s shoes.

Are you giving them what they truly need?

Here’s a Halloween challenge: identify your number one business fear.

Write down all possible consequences—good and bad—and then face it head-on. You might just discover it’s not as frightening as you imagined.

Be brave… what’s the worst that can happen?

If you want a little extra courage, I’m here to help you tackle those fears and turn them into opportunities.
