In this episode, I talk about why it's okay to not be consistent, and how to overcome the fear that keeps you from trying something new. I think a lot of you are holding yourself back from trying new things because you're scared of what could happen if you actually succeed. I think you're more scared of your potential failure than you are of what you could become.
