Day 298 - You Fear What You Pay For

Fear drives the decision to hire others to do tasks for us. There are two main reasons for hiring: to scale a successful process or because of fear and lack of confidence. Hiring out of fear often leads to confirmation of our fears and wasted money. Seeking a guide or mentor too early in the process can also be a result of fear and can divert us from our own path. The fear economy has emerged, offering services to help with tasks we are afraid of. However, finding something we are not afraid of can lead to success and wealth. keywordsfear, hiring, scaling, lack of confidence, guide, mentor, fear economy, success takeaways
