When you're promoting your dental website and dental practice, you will find yourself in situations that make you more than a little afraid. Maybe you want to start advertising for a competitive procedure, submit press releases that make your name more well known, or start speaking at dental seminars.
All ambitious dentists and entrepreneurs go through challenges like this and the ones who are the most successful are the dentists who lean into their fears instead of curling away from them. You don't have to bust through terrifying situations with all guns blazing, but when you feel that discomfort in your stomach, it's crucial to keep moving forward. The better you get at the semi-fearful situations, the easier the big ones will get in time.
It is beneficial to understand that some discomfort is common with growth, and that mistakes along the way are to be expected and accepted. There are some risky ideas that shouldn't be undertaken, so have some common sense. The way to tell is to ask yourself if you're avoiding an initiative mainly out of fear, and then strive forward if that is the case.
