Thanks, Marisa, for sharing this book and your reactions to it. Fear is something we have been taught to ignore and avoid. Yet when we look at fear as a reaction to change and moving out of our comfort zone, fear is something we should embrace and use to move us forward. Thanks for the reminder!

Marissa,
It’s honestly refreshing to see you in action; to witness your carefully considered insight’s shared. In many ways, I stand at the opposite side of a young business woman’s world. For I am fast approaching my latter 50’s. But, as such, I clearly can see that you’ve handily encapsulated perhaps one of, if not the wisest choice in advice, and especially for professional women, in your video. It is one from which innumerable others naturally will follow.

Regardless of the new millennia in which we live and the changes we see in the likes of the Me Too Movement, the fact remains that women face markedly deeper challenges in the business world as do we in those politically and academically centered. That is not at all to suggest that we need nor deserve a blanketed and special hand up or other such consideration, no. For we ALL face multitude but quite differing challenges, if many nuanced. It’s after 30+ years devoted to entrepreneurs in the micro-cap segment of the US capital markets that I suggest that as we purposefully choose to accept the challenges that so often do face we women where they may not men; that when we gracefully but determinately say to ourselves ‘you’re on’ do we then mount pathway to far greater – just as have you offered herein. We must challenge ourselves and we must consciously decide that we can undertake; that we should undertake and that when we do, we will not only persevere but we will succeed to far greater degree. It is perhaps a grittier undertaking. However, there is a far keener win awaiting us if we do accept and battle such challenges. For inside them are sets of often deeply personal challenges that as we climb to ever greater, continually will fuel and thus empower us. Respectfully, your advice herein is most valuable, Marissa. Please, let’s just keep the small successes reached each day in mind, as I believe in doing so we stand far greater chance of reaching what will likely be not a sprint’s finish line, but a marathon’s. In closing, I humbly offer that yours is very most insightful advice. It’s a pleasure to watch you in action, as is it to see you step ever upward, grow and succeed whilst lending a hand to multitudes. Similarly, it is most helpful to undertake your sage advice as I determine to take on my own next and upward moving second career – regardless of age or of gender. Thank you!

Oversecurity! I think that’s so true. We want to stay comfortable. Procrastination, lack of action are there because there is no dire need for the action. If you don’t do it you will still be just fine. The fear of doing something new is greater than any ‘fear’ of staying the same. The desire for the action, change must be greater than the fear you experience in going after it. Or perhaps reframing the fear itself. The ‘problem’ is how to deal with the fear in-the-moment when you decide to step forward or step back into comfort.

Hey! I Feel Like ,This is me. Have started my business and had my first conversation with the Amalpack company the biggest carton production company just yesterday 14/5/2019 in my city Lae and country Papua New Guinea. That idea that I had within me since 2004 has now come to light. Talking to people about my passion and what I can do for my people to help educate , build and empower them to grow individually as well as organizations. They have now given me the opportunity to run the Workplace health Safety and fire safety training,coaching and mentoring for the workforce. Yes, now I truly understand and see how I have planted the seed within us that has grown over time as we invest and equip ourselves to be very good at it and only when I have fought that fear within me to go out and talk to people who are impacted by the solutions I am providing to the problems they faced right now in relation to compliance requirements. I have now hear their desires and what they want. I can provide the solutions to meet their need. I am heading for a greener pasture and with this book it will help me rise to the next higher level.
