Overcoming the Fear of Failure: You’re Not Alone



Let’s talk about something real—fear. Specifically, the fear of failing. I know it’s probably crossed your mind: “What if I invest my time and money into learning this new skill, and it doesn’t work out? What if I can’t make this business succeed?”


I’ve been there, too. Even though I’m here, teaching you the art of fairy hair, I’ve had my share of sleepless nights wondering if I could really make it work. I had fears of failing, of not being able to build a successful business, and even of having to close down my dreams because I couldn’t figure it all out.


For me, those fears looked like questioning everything—whether I’d be able to support my family, find joy in my work, or build a business that would allow me to live the life I wanted. I worried about being happy, staying financially afloat, and defining what success really meant for me.


The Truth About Failure

Here’s something I’ve learned: we all have those thoughts. Fear of failure isn’t unique to you—it’s something almost everyone faces when starting something new. It doesn’t matter if you’re starting your own salon, adding a service like fairy hair, or even launching your very first business. The fear of not being “good enough” or “successful enough” is real, and it’s part of the journey.


But here’s the thing: fear doesn’t have to control you. It’s there, yes—but it’s not the whole story.


Failure Looks Like

Failure isn’t about making mistakes or having slow days. It’s about giving up before you even have a chance to succeed. For me, it would have meant closing my business because I let fear take over instead of pushing through the doubts and learning from the process.


The truth is, I didn’t have everything figured out when I started, and I still don’t have all the answers. But I kept going, and eventually, I built something I’m proud of—something that brings me joy, financial security, and fulfillment.


Decide What Success Means to You

Success doesn’t have to look like what society tells you it should be. It’s not just about the number of clients you have or how much money you make. It’s about how you define it. Maybe it’s about feeling fulfilled in your work, having the flexibility to live your life on your terms, or making enough to support your family while doing something that lights you up.

When you decide what success means to you, it changes everything. You can focus on what truly matters and let go of the fear of “failing” in someone else’s eyes.


You Can Do This

I’m sharing this because I want you to know that you’re not alone in your fears, and more importantly—you can overcome them. I believe in you. You have everything you need to be successful in your own way. The fear of failure might be there, but it doesn’t have to hold you back.


I’m here to guide you through every step of this journey. Whether you’re afraid of failure, making mistakes, or just not being “enough,” I’ve been there, and I’m ready to help you move forward.
