info_outlineEver caught yourself saying, “I’m too young to be taken seriously” or “I don’t know enough to run a business”? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re also not right.
In this empowering episode of the Youngpreneurs Podcast, we are here to call out one of the biggest myths holding back brilliant business minds: the idea that you’re not good enough.
Fear Isn’t Fact
Fear has a funny way of disguising itself as logic. It tells us we’re not ready, not experienced, not worthy. But that’s not the truth, it’s just your brain trying to keep you safe.
Safe might feel comfy, but safe doesn’t build empires. Safe doesn’t spark innovation. And safe definitely doesn’t get your dream business off the ground.
So here’s the reframe: fear is just your brain’s way of reacting to risk. But not all risk is bad. In fact, some of the best moves you’ll ever make come right after you feel the most afraid.
Rewire the Narrative
The stories we tell ourselves matter. If self-doubt is running the show, it’s time to change the script.
Instead of “I’m scared”, say “I’m excited.”
Instead of “I can’t do this”, say “I’m learning how.”
Physiologically, fear and excitement are nearly identical. Heart racing? Sweaty palms? Butterflies? All the same. The difference is the story you attach to it. So choose the story that moves you forward.
Use Fear as Fuel
Self-doubt can freeze you, or it can fuel you. The trick is to channel that nervous energy into action. Nervous about launching? Get prepared. Scared to speak up? Practise. The more prepared you are, the less space fear has to dominate.
Fear hates momentum. So take micro steps. Post that video. Pitch to a friend. Send one email. Each small action tells your brain: “I’ve got this.” And you do.
Progress Beats Perfection
You don’t need to have it all figured out. What you do need is progress. Track your wins, no matter how small. Start a confidence journal. Colour in your progress tree. These tiny habits compound over time and build proof that yes, you can do this.
And when your inner voice wobbles, borrow belief from someone else. A mentor, a friend, your community. We all need a boost sometimes.
Keep Showing Up
Here’s the truth: successful entrepreneurs feel fear, too. The difference? They act anyway.
They see fear as a sign they’re growing, stretching and stepping outside their comfort zone, and that’s exactly where great businesses are born.
So next time self-doubt whispers in your ear, smile and say: “Thanks for the warning. I’ve got this.” Because you do.
