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:
