Strategies for Making Friends With The Fear of Failure

In this video I talk about strategies for making friends with the fear of failure.
If you want to succeed you need to first try to do something... this inevitably comes with the chance of failure. For many people that fear of failure prevents them from taking action... from doing the things that they need to do to have even a chance at success.
Fear of Failure is an inevitable part of the journey towards success. The key is not to try to eliminate that fear but to make friends with it and even use it as motivation for success.

Thank you Tim, truly appreciate your teachings, I wish I’d found you years ago. You’re helping me so much just by being yourself! You’re very generous with the information you share, so lucky for us artists to be able to look to you for inspiration ❣️

[@timpackerfinearts]

Absolutely my pleasure

[@ryankalb1491]

Thank you for this... It seems that my fear of failure (and starting to paint more often / possibly sell it) is running right into my feeling that I'm running out of time (just turned 40),,, and I need to get on it... Thanks again. Keep up the great work.

Love the evolutionary psychology, etc. Great video. Thank you.

Hi Tim! I started following you on IG because of Brooke, or who knows maybe I followed Brooke because of you haha. Anyways thank you for making this vid. I am always on a personal growth quest and am happy to get stuff like this reiterated at me in the hopes it helps propel me forward. I studied evo bio in my first grad program and SO APPRECIATE YOU teaching people about the evolutionary bases for our fear. Also, I had never thought about fear of failure switching from an avoidance motivator to a success motivator once you make the decision to actually "do the thing". Thank you!

[@timpackerfinearts]

My pleasure. It was actually Brooke's success that motivated me to change my focus from painting to teaching. My goal is to have the same impact on other aspiring artists at scale. One of the things that I have enjoyed about teaching is all of the learning that I have had to do to make sure I know what I'm talking about. Evolutionary biology has been a big part of that. Cheers

Rule number one: Only read reviews when one is in need of penance.

I agree with a lot with what you said, but if someone would have come to you, while you were a police officer thinking about quitting and said, I love your art, i will pay you 100k a year and give you a contract for 10 years, old lizard brain would not be triggered. I think that's one of the reasons people have not gone back to their old jobs, because they were forced to find something else to do, people found a better way to make a living, so people don't want to go back to deal with rude customers and dumb managers and dumber b.s. policies.

[@timpackerfinearts]

I agree. It often takes something that is traumatic that forces us to take a hard look at our life and make the hard decisions. In my case it was a friend being murdered. For a lot of people today it has been the Pandemic. I think that those that have the highest success are those that can consistently make the hard decisions... without the necessity of some traumatic event. In that case you need to become comfortable with mister lizard brains antics😊👍
