The fear of starting your own lettings agency

When we deny our fear, we make it stronger.
The fearless person is well aware of the fear he or she faces. The fear, though, becomes a guide, not a 12ft wall. It becomes a way to know what to do next, not an evil devil to be extinguished. When we comfort the voice in our head by wisely reminding it of everything that will go right, we actually support it.
Pushing back on fear doesn't make us brave and it doesn't make us fearless. Recognising fear and moving on is a very different way of doing things, one that allows it to exist without reinforcing it.
Life without fear doesn't last very long ... you'll be run over by a bus or your boss before you know it. The fearless person, on the other hand, sees the world as it is (fear included) and then makes smart and brave decisions.
So what could go wrong in opening your lettings agency? Well if you are good at your job and hungry for teh business, you are good people and love property. You can run an agency from home if you want. Read this blog will tell how to get landlords .. what's stopping you?  Fear?
