Overcoming Fear

Fear. It is the ONE thing that according to poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, “defeats more people than any other thing in the world.”


During my February Business Breakthroughs Networking Breakfast, I sat down with guest speaker DonnaLyn Giegerich, MBA, CIC, RYT to discuss fear and the number of ways it could have an impact on our personal growth as well as on our business. View this inspiring interview here.


During our chat, she said something the resonated with me so well:


“Fear is false evidence appearing real.”


If we are not careful about who we surround ourselves with and what we allow into our minds on a daily basis, we will lead ourselves to believe that every fearful thought or feeling that we have is reality– when IN reality, nothing could be farther from the truth.


In the video below, I discuss how you can move past fear and thrive in your business:

What would you do if it weren’t for fear?

Let’s grab a cup of coffee together to chat about the things that can possibly be preventing you from reaching your fullest potential, as well as strategies for how to overcome them,

When you're behind the wheel day in and day out, retirement can feel like a distant mirage on the horizon. After all, there’s freight to haul, bills to pay, and miles to cover. But here’s the thing—retirement doesn’t happen by accident. It takes planning, saving, and making smart choices early on. For Canadian truck drivers—especially owner-operators—there’s no company pension plan waiting at the end of the road. That means you’re the boss of your retirement, and the earlier you take charge, the smoother your ride into those golden years.  At Truckers Pro CPA, we’ve worked with countless drivers across the country, helping them turn unpredictable trucking income into reliable retirement plans. Let’s dig into your options and lay down a roadmap to long-term financial security.
