Is fear holding you back?

by Josiah Mackenzie on August 31, 2009

fear of failure Is fear holding your hotel back? Are you avoiding action because you’re afraid of failure?

David Meerman Scott recently wrote an excellent post on fear. I also have seen many hotel executives scared of trying new marketing that could benefit their hotel and their guests — simply because there are afraid.

Afraid that they’ve never done this before.

Afraid that it might make them look bad.

Afraid that they cannot track everything.

Progress and innovation are impossible unless we take calculated risks. Educate and prepare yourself, then go out and make things happen.

Stop letting fear prevent you and your organization from achieving success.

What’s holding you back? What are you afraid of?
