I have a Family Science degree (marriage and family therapy, mental health discipline similar to counseling) and a Computer Science degree. I've combined the two degrees to help entrepreneurs with the technical hurdles and the mental roadblocks (focus, performance, health, fitness and energy management).

Get Past Your Fears


Have you ever thought about how incredibly awesome it would be to travel for about a year?
What if you could buy a sailboat and travel around the world sailing and stopping wherever you want for about a year?

How awesome would that be!

I heard this story that there are a bunch of sailboats that get together and they meet up at the Panama Canal and they start their one-year journey together so that they all have a bit of a support system.

Well, I heard that if you want to learn how to sail and you meet them down there in the Panama Canal, there is a way that you can hitch onto the sailboat and sail on somebody else’s boat. So I thought this is so cool!

I was getting into sailing a few years back and I loved it! 
This would be so cool to hitch on sailboat and just ride around the world and travel.

Then I heard this story about a lot of people that will save up and more like 10 years, maybe their entire life. They save up. They make all the plans. They sell all they have. And they buy these great sailboats.

And then right about the time that they’re supposed to leave, they dock.
Stayed docked, they never leave.
And they live in the docks.
They never go on their trip.

What it is, it’s a fear. It’s a fear if they can do it.
So far, they’ve just been planning to do it.
They just have this fear that they won’t be able to do it.

They won’t be able to travel. That they won’t be able to support themselves.
And that they’ll get in trouble.
Whatever it is that’s keeping them from leaving the dock and fulfilling their dream, comes down the fear.

It’s a really sad story but in one way or another, don’t we all kind of do this?
Don’t we all sit in the docks and think,“I don’t know if I can do it. I don’t know if I’m enough.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle what’s coming”.

But for those of you who do sail around the world, its life changing.
It’s living. It’s truly living.

This sailing around the world it could be sailing.
But it could be going after the job that you want.
Going after the relationship you want.
Going after whatever dreams that you want, big or small.

If you’re sitting on a docks, there is a way to get past your fear.
And there is a way to do sailing.
To do the trips you want to do.

One of those huge things that you need to do to get out of the docks, is find a support system. That’s what these sailors do. 
They find other people that also want to sail and they sail together.
So they find and network of people where they can support each other and they can go on their trip together.

For you this could be mentors.
It could be a coach.
It could be a friend that’s been there, done that.

Whatever it is, find a support system.
And find a way to get past your fear and leave the docks.

Because you don’t want to live your entire life sitting in the docks.
