Here’s a hint: We took a ride up to Whistler Mountain, to a bridge about 160 feet above the most beautiful white water you’ve ever seen. And then we…… You’ll have to watch my latest youtube video blog to see the whole story ==> Click Here!.

“What Are You Afraid Of?”

There are many wonderful events held all over the world that are designed to help you get over your physical fears and many wonderful events that use physical fears as a symbol for the mental and emotional fears that are holding you back.

Many times our dreams get short circuited because our fears are blocking our success. How does this work? Let’s imagine that you have a dream to start your own business and you write this dream down. Many times before you’ve even finished writing the sentence declaring your dream to the world, your fears begin to surface. You may hear your Inner Critic say “you can’t do that” or “you don’t have enough money or knowledge or ______(you fill in the blank).” What are some of the things your fears say to you?

Our fears are really there trying to protect us. They are protecting us from the unknown. Our comfort zone is designed to keep us ‘comfortable’, so anything that stretches our comfort zone will cause us to feel….. what? Uncomfortable. So that means that *anytime* you attempt to go beyond what you are doing or experiencing today, you are going to feel uncomfortable, you are going to hear all the ‘reasons’ in your head that you shouldn’t or can’t do it.

This is completely normal and completely expected! Once you know this, you can blast past these fears and get on with your dreams. When I first wrote the words “I want to write a book” in my journal the very next thing I wrote was “who do I think I am? I can’t write a book. No one wants to hear what I have to say. I don’t have anything important to say.” And on and on and on…. My fears came up to protect me from the “terrible, awful” experience of writing a book and getting rejected by agents and publishers and working so hard for so long, etc. But you know what? It was uncomfortable and it was hard and it was the best experience of my life!

More recently, I was speaking at an event that really stretched my comfort zone. The people in the audience were expert speakers themselves! I had to write lots of new material that I had never spoken about before. I couldn’t rely on my old ‘stand-by’ stories, I had to come up with new stories that would be examples of the new material I was teaching. I was very UNCOMFORTABLE! I wrote in my journal, “I guess this is what ‘playing big’ in my life looks like. I have to get comfortable being uncomfortable.”

Sounds crazy, I know, but this small shift in how you look at and address your fears can have a huge impact on your life. Imagine the next time you feel fearful and uncomfortable, you immediately realize that those fears are just trying to help you be comfortable again, and you are able to tell yourself “oh, I know this feeling. It’s my comfort zone expanding to help me BE the Vision I’ve created for myself.” And you blast past those fears and move toward the Biggest Vision you can create for your life!

You can do it!

I’d love to hear how you’ve overcome some of the fears in your life or how you’ve faced your fears recently. Send an email to Sandy@SandyGrason.com

Everything You Should Know About Publishing, Publicity, Promotion and Building A Platform
A Step-By-Step Guide For Authors by Arielle Ford

I am so lucky to have amazing mentors in my life and one of them is Arielle Ford. You may have heard of her… she’s the publicist behind best-selling authors like Deepak Chopra, Mark Victor Hansen, Debbie Ford and many, many more…

Arielle has *the* best program for authors. I used it when I was starting out and the information in here will give you the foundation you need to be a successful author. Here is some of what she covers in her program:

• The foolproof ways to get published… Arielle shows you exactly what publishers want, and how you can deliver it.


• The insider secrets to promoting your book… these are the same strategies Arielle used to help sell more than 15 million books.


• How to launch yourself in the media… this is how Arielle gets authors on shows like “Oprah”, “Good Morning America” and “Larry King Live”.


• The truth behind building a platform… Arielle shows you how famous authors really make their money - and it's not from book royalties.


• A war chest of tools… including letters, press material and contacts that have taken her 15 years to build.

I highly recommend this program!…
