Most likely, not well: you might fear negative comments, and even the thought of them can bring unpleasant sensations in your body, such as a feeling of constriction inside.

Why are we afraid of judgment and criticism?

Reflect on this—do you criticize yourself, or do you instead offer yourself words of encouragement? In my experience, many entrepreneurs tend to berate themselves mentally.

The best way to become depressed is to endlessly analyze something negative within yourself. Unless, of course, you are a Buddhist monk in terms of level of awareness)))

This is how we humans are designed: if there are no external incentives for good, the psyche will concentrate on the bad. This is a genetically predisposed mechanism because it increases survival.

There’s really only one way.

Step 1: Recognize what you’re truly afraid of.  Step 2: Feel the fear and do it anyway.

There’s conscious fear: for instance, “I’m afraid I won’t find clients.” In this case, I look for information and solutions on how to find clients, and I move in that direction, going deeper and further. 

Saint-Exupéry's "Prayer", written in one of the most difficult moments of his life, reminds us of the most important thing.
We should all think about the things he asks:

"Lord, I am not asking for miracles or visions, but for strength in each day. Teach me the art of small steps."

In the business world, where everyone is always striving for big goals and ambitious projects, the importance of small steps is often forgotten. However, successful entrepreneurs know that the path to the top consists of many small achievements.

Entrepreneurship is not only about business strategies and coaching techniques for achieving goals; it's about unconventional thinking, mental resilience, and vision. As an experienced coach, I've come to the conclusion that while techniques and methods are valuable tools in our arsenal, it's the coach's thinking and personality that truly influence the effectiveness of our work with clients.
