Hello friends!
Hope you’re having a great week! As usual, I wanted to share some ideas and insights with you.
But before that, I have some good news—Weekend Weekly Mindset is back, which means you’ll now be receiving two emails from me every week.
This time, things are a little different because I’ll be doing something I’ve been procrastinating on for a while—sharing what I’m working on and giving you weekly progress updates.
This will only be in the Weekend Weekly Mindset, where we’ll talk about building products, business strategy, and execution.
Before we jump into today’s snippet, I also want to announce that tomorrow, I’m rolling out the first beta version 🚀 of LinkHiveAI, and it will be available only to beta testers.
Let’s Dive In…
Fear is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately—and you know what? It always finds a way to show up.
Timo, the writer of The Cheat Codes, was right when he said doubt and fear are not things we should try to get rid of—rather, we should learn how to live with them.
Understanding Fear
Fear is part of life—it’s not something we get rid of.
Fear is normal. It’s part of the human experience.
The question is not whether you have fear; the question is, is your belief stronger than your fear?
At its core, fear is just a feeling—a way of framing things. The way we perceive situations determines how we respond.
Faith and Deep Conviction
Faith is positive belief.
Fear is negative belief → doubt.
Both faith and fear are beliefs—but which side are you choosing?
What matters is whether you have deep conviction in what you are doing and the belief that you will pull through.
If you are a Christian, do you always believe that God has you and will guide you?
Isaiah 41:10 – Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.
Who is your reference of faith? Whose faith are you modeling? And the scripture says, looking unto Him—the author and finisher of our faith.
Thinking Habits
"As a man thinketh, so is he."
As John Maxwell always says, everything starts from a thought.
We believe what we think about for a long time, and everything begins with a thought.
Some key questions to consider:
What are the characteristics of my thoughts?
When dealing with a situation, how do I process it?
From John Maxwell’s podcast with Mark, the CEO, one framework he shares is:
✅ What do I feel?
✅ What do I think?
✅ What do I know?
✅ What should I do?
Your thoughts shape your actions, and your actions shape your life.
Action > Fear
One day, I was scrolling through my phone and came across a quick interview. The person was asked Elon, “Do you face fear?”
His answer blew my mind.
He said:
"I feel a lot of fear—probably even more than I would like to feel.
But my drive always overcomes fear."
That’s it.
Whenever you feel afraid, take action.
Fear doesn’t disappear—but action moves you forward.
