Foundations of an Entrepreneur Series: Fear of Failure & Overwhelm

This session unpacks the fact that fear doesn’t mean you’re not ready—it means you’re human. This session addresses the emotional weight of starting something new, especially in marginalized or underestimated communities. We’ll explore perfectionism, analysis paralysis, and how to take aligned action in the face of fear. Participants will leave with tools to navigate failure, set manageable goals, and build resilience in the face of uncertainty.

The Foundations series is NOT your typical build a business workshop. It is a practical, discussion-based workshop series for new and aspiring entrepreneurs who need clarity, focus, and confidence before writing a business plan or launching a business.

This program focuses on key mindset and planning challenges that often delay progress—such as self-doubt, fear of failure, lack of direction, and difficulty transitioning from employee thinking to entrepreneurship.

This series is ideal for:

• Individuals who have a business idea but don’t know where to start
• People who are unsure if entrepreneurship is right for them
• Early-stage entrepreneurs who feel stuck or overwhelmed by the process

Each session includes:

• Guided group discussion
• Reflection exercises (writing optional)
• Simple, actionable tools participants can apply immediately

Participants will walk away with:

• A clearer sense of their business idea and personal motivation
• Greater awareness of the internal habits or thought patterns may be holding them back
• A personalized plan to help them move forward and prepare for future mentorship or business development support

Each session is 30-40 minutes (depending on group size and engagement)
