Anxiety is a very real problem for many people and it can rob you of your ability to do the things you need to in your business. Have you ever experienced anxiety? I wouldnt hesitate to say that out of 100 adults surveyed, all 100 would tell you they have experienced some form of anxiety.
Anxiety has served us well over the years. Anxiety and adrenalin served the purpose of keeping us alert to approaching danger. This kept us alive. Today, the anxiety that many of us feel is in response to ever increasing daily responsibilities and no increase in the amount of time available to take care of those responsibilities.
anxiety can be debilitating for some people. Can you imagine being gripped by fear and panic, to the point that you could not even accomplish a simple trip to the grocery store? It is a daily situation for many adults. The greatest dilemma faced by the panic stricken individual is the isolation many feel, and the inability to reach out to someone for help. The very nature of the disease isolates the patient, and makes treatment options seem nonexistent. Seeking treatment would mean that they had to exist outside the comfort zone of their home, or their bedroom.
Most of us never reach that level of anxiety, but even a small amount of anxiety centered around a specific task or function can make it almost impossible to achieve success. Anxiety can actually become our worst enemy in our home based or network marketing business if we let it get out of control. At some point in every business, someone has to get out there and talk about the business or growth simply can't be achieved.
The most common causes of anxious feeling for many home based and network marketing business owners usually centers around public speaking or making phone calls. For most people the cause for anxiety centers around the fact that they just haven't had the need to speak to a lot of people before they got into their business. Getting up to give a 30 second commercial in a networking group feels like giving a 3 hour presentaion and picking up the phone to call prospects seems completely out of the realm of possibility.
Unlike the more severe forms of anxiety, there is a solution that can help, most never think of it and almost all are not willing to pay to get help to overcome it. But here it is...drum roll please...TRAINING and PRACTICE.
I know, that is almost too simple isn't it? I can tell you that once folks get the hang of of almost any activity they actually start to enjoy it. Do you remember the first time you went skiing, or swimming how terrified you were? Seems silly now doesn't it? Have coached many people in the art of creating a great commercial, and having been coached by a professional recruiter on the art of using the phone, I can tell you it is great to be in command of those skills as well. All it took was a little training.
There are many amazing treatments for those who suffer anxiety today. For most people it is a condition readily treatable with counseling and the use of self-help techniques including meditation, mild medications, and biofeedback. Empowering the individual and allowing them to take part in their own treatment is in itself a way to stop the anxiety and panic. Once an individual begins to feel they are in control of their lives, again, you are even closer to banishing the overwhelming anxiety and panic.
The same is true for the new network marketer or home based business owner. The sooner we learn to master the activity, the sooner we will overcome the anxiety. So what is keeping you from reaching the top in your business? Is a little help in order?
