Most people believe that they have to live with their phobias and fears for the rest of their lives. But the truth is you can eliminate it fast and don’t have to deal with it forever. Whether it be the fear of spiders, the fear of public speaking, or the fear of trusting people, our guest Adam Cox or aka the Phobia Guru can surely help you!

In today’s episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Adam shares to Mighty Pete stories on how he found his passion as well as some strategies to help you find yours too. He didn’t think that he’d be able to position himself as one of the experts in the field. Listen now so you can learn more about eliminating phobias, NLP, the 2 basic mindsets (and what you should be having), the acceptance of failure as part of life, and many more interesting kinds of stuff.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When asked by Mighty Pete what fire in the belly means for Adam. He answered: You feel your fire in the belly is at work when all the engines inside your body are firing up to one direction, ignited by motivation, determination, and action.
• The ‘fake it till you make it’ mantra works. When Adam applied for jobs, he exaggerated everything. He has the knowledge, yes. But normally, those positions would be given to someone with more experience. Since he is confident and always eager to learn, it was easy for him to adjust to any work and environment.
• Having a growth mindset (instead of a fixed mindset) can make you get the most out of everything. You can solve any problems efficiently, seize any opportunity without hesitation, and come back easily from any failure.
• Don’t be afraid to set big goals. There is a possibility you’ll fail, no doubt in that. But the possibility too that you’ll learn something from the experience and come out stronger should also be noted. Failures and mistakes are parts of life. Always be confident in any decision you make. Follow your passion and leap.
• Beware of analysis paralysis. Sometimes, it’s best to just do it. We don’t let doubts and fear cloud our mind when we just start taking action. It’s also proven too that we learn more in practice than in theory.

BEST MOMENTS

• “If I could change how I was thinking, then that could change how I was feeling.”
• “When the world collides with your dreams, you have to learn how to reconcile it somehow.”
• “If you’re not happy with something, change it.”
• “Bet on yourself, you might end up winning.”
• “Without fear, we would be reckless. We get complacent, and that’s not good.”
