129: You Can Either Live Your Dreams or Live Your Fears
Fear is the silent dream-killer that prevents most millennial entrepreneurs from reaching their potential. What would your business look like if you could overcome the psychological barriers holding you back?
The Ideal Millennial Entrepreneur Podcast tackles this critical question head-on by featuring wisdom from motivational legend Les Brown, who reminds us we can "either live our dreams or live our fears." This episode dives deep into the entrepreneurial mindset needed to weather the inevitable financial storms—those months when you make great money followed by periods when you make absolutely nothing.
Through powerful storytelling, Les Brown shares his famous "bulldog with no teeth" parable, demonstrating how most entrepreneurs run from challenges that appear more threatening than they actually are. These false fears (or as Brown puts it, "False Evidence Appearing Real") create self-imposed limitations that keep talented millennials from building the businesses they deserve.
The episode provides actionable strategies for confronting entrepreneurial anxiety: acknowledging your fears rather than denying them, embracing rather than resisting what scares you, visualizing yourself successfully handling frightening situations, and accepting fear as a normal fact rather than a controlling force. Each technique builds upon the central truth that entrepreneurship will never be easy—but the discomfort of facing your fears is always preferable to the regret of abandoning your dreams.
Whether you're just starting your entrepreneurial journey or hitting obstacles along the way, this mindset-focused episode delivers the psychological tools needed to persist when others quit. Subscribe to the Ideal Millennial Entrepreneur Podcast for weekly financial tips, income strategies, and mindset development to help you thrive as a millennial business owner.

00:01:27.594 --> 00:01:33.462

But today's podcast is a continuation of basically a mindset and motivation.
00:01:52.611 --> 00:02:00.820
As we know, if you are trying to be an entrepreneur and also or a entrepreneur, there's going to be peaks and valleys.
00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:06.311
Everything may look good Money, you may make great money one month.
00:02:06.311 --> 00:02:08.323
The next month you make absolutely nothing.
00:02:08.323 --> 00:02:15.866
So that's one of the things that if you cross over into this entrepreneurship, you have to have the right mindset to do so.
00:02:15.866 --> 00:02:20.640
So I'm sharing for this month, april.
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:32.048

The second podcast will drop Thursdays, 3 pm Central Standard Time.
00:02:37.485 --> 00:02:47.012
So you will get two back to back motivational content podcasts for this whole month and it's going to be really talking about.
00:02:47.120 --> 00:03:04.111
We're going to hone in so much about mindset, having the right mindset, and these are from world-class speakers, from Les Brown, eric Thomas, jim Rome, zig Ziglar, et cetera and I think to get into this entrepreneurship and stay in this entrepreneurship.
00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:11.842
It is not easy, it's not for the paint, and I can tell you for myself and experience what I endured last year, even this year.

00:03:37.855 --> 00:03:43.288
So this is not the entirety of the speech by Les Brown.
00:03:43.288 --> 00:03:48.082
This is just probably about 10 minutes of it you'll get, but I will put it on.
00:03:48.082 --> 00:03:50.649
I will link it in the show notes.
00:03:50.649 --> 00:03:53.801
You can go check it out whenever you get a chance.
00:03:53.801 --> 00:03:59.433
You can check out the full recording itself, but this is just a snippet of it for now.
00:03:59.433 --> 00:04:01.383
See you next week.
00:04:01.383 --> 00:04:03.828
Much appreciative, peace.
00:04:06.694 --> 00:04:08.480
I think all of us can identify with.
00:04:08.480 --> 00:04:21.084
You can either live your dreams or live your fears, and I think the majority of people actually are not living their dreams, but are living their fears.
00:04:21.084 --> 00:04:26.596
So I want to ask you a question what are your fears?
00:04:26.596 --> 00:04:30.437
What are you afraid of?
00:04:30.437 --> 00:04:31.127
What are you afraid of?
00:04:31.127 --> 00:04:33.596
What are you scared of?
00:04:33.596 --> 00:04:36.617
Because we all have fears, don't we?
00:04:36.617 --> 00:04:58.649
We all have something that's blocking us, that's holding us back, and as we begin to look at life, what we realize is that the reason that most people are not living out their true potential and not doing all of the things that they would really like to do is because of fear.
00:04:59.630 --> 00:05:06.439
Some people call fear false evidence or expectations appearing real.
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:23.579
I'm reminded of the story of a guy that was living in an area where he had some new neighbors, and these neighbors had a bulldog, and when he came home every day, this bulldog used to chase him about a half a block from his house.
00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:26.673
Every day he would have to streak home.
00:05:26.673 --> 00:05:29.382
I mean, he would just run, this bulldog would be right on his heels.
00:05:29.382 --> 00:05:30.584
He would have to streak home.
00:05:30.584 --> 00:05:35.158
I mean, he would just run, this bulldog would be right on his heels, and so he just got tired of that because he would go home about a half a block away from home.
00:05:35.158 --> 00:05:43.519
He would look around for this bulldog and he would see him and he would go walking casually along and this bulldog would come out of nowhere and start chasing him and he'd run home.
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.661
So this one day he just got tired and so when the bulldog was running after him he started running.
00:05:49.661 --> 00:05:52.463
He saw a rock and he stopped to pick it up to throw at the bulldog.
00:05:52.463 --> 00:05:54.946
And when the bulldog got up on him he started barking.
00:05:54.946 --> 00:05:57.291
He realized the bulldog didn't have any teeth in his mouth.
00:05:57.291 --> 00:06:01.699
Then he started chasing the bulldog.
00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:22.276
If you don't get out of the way for me, because the most the bulldog could have done is gum, you know, and so you know what Most people go through life running scared, running scared from things that have no teeth in them because their false expectations appearing real.
00:06:22.896 --> 00:06:25.829
Let's see, we're brilliant enough to scare ourselves to death.
00:06:25.829 --> 00:06:31.158
Do you realize that there are some people actually who get a kick out of scaring themselves to death?
00:06:31.158 --> 00:06:35.084
I remember the last frightening movie I saw.
00:06:35.084 --> 00:06:36.170
It was the Exorcist.
00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:40.060
I will never forget I was so frightened.
00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:48.411
When I came home, I'll never forget I drove in the driveway and I had already called my former wife and said listen, turn the lights on.
00:06:48.411 --> 00:06:54.918
I was coming in the driveway and I was getting out of the car and all of a sudden I couldn't get out.
00:06:54.918 --> 00:06:55.839
I stopped blowing my horn.
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:57.817
I said Madeline, they got me, they got me.
00:06:57.817 --> 00:07:01.711
She came to the kitchen with it and said take your seatbelt loose fool.
00:07:01.711 --> 00:07:06.177
I said oh, okay, okay, okay.
00:07:06.177 --> 00:07:09.079
I was frightened out of my wits.
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.925
But there are a lot of people who they get off on that they love it.
00:07:12.944 --> 00:07:13.505
I'm a person.
00:07:13.505 --> 00:07:18.276
My brother is a paratrooper, my twin brother he's in the military, a career man.
00:07:18.276 --> 00:07:21.839
I would love to jump out of an airplane to parachute.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:23.555
I'm scared, though.
00:07:23.555 --> 00:07:26.978
I mean I really admire my brother for that.
00:07:26.978 --> 00:07:28.170
I would really love to be a macho man like that.
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:28.411
What I mean?
00:07:28.411 --> 00:07:29.132
I really admire my brother for that.
00:07:29.132 --> 00:07:30.072
I would really love to be macho man like that.
00:07:30.093 --> 00:07:39.244
What are the things that you fear that's been keeping you from living your dream, that's been keeping you from doing some things that you would like to do?
00:07:39.244 --> 00:07:44.995
Just think about those things and how do we begin to handle that?
00:07:44.995 --> 00:08:05.394
Abraham Maslow said that life is about growth, and he said you can either go back to your comfort zone, and there you won't find any growth, or you must be willing to go forward and face your fears again and again and again, because you're never going to have a fear-free existence.
00:08:05.394 --> 00:08:07.620
I mean, some fear is acceptable and legitimate.
00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:11.401
There are some things that you really should be afraid of Now.
00:08:11.401 --> 00:08:13.495
You shouldn't allow it to immobilize you.
00:08:13.495 --> 00:08:18.975
You acknowledge it, you take it into account and you carry yourself accordingly.
00:08:18.975 --> 00:08:26.055
There are times that we should proceed with caution, but it's the difference between being stopped by fear.
00:08:26.055 --> 00:08:31.963
It's the difference between having a fear and the fear having you.
00:08:31.963 --> 00:08:33.706
So what do we do?
00:08:33.706 --> 00:08:45.293
One acknowledge it and knowing that, it's okay, don't condemn yourself for being afraid, it's perfectly fine to have some fears.
00:08:45.293 --> 00:08:58.554
You acknowledge your fears, you embrace those fears and then you move on, you act on whatever it is that you fear, because once you embrace it, see, what you resist will persist.
00:08:58.554 --> 00:09:00.962
What you resist will persist.
00:09:00.962 --> 00:09:07.840
So one of the most important things is to begin to embrace your fear, the fear of bodily harm.
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:08.602
That's legitimate.
00:09:09.254 --> 00:09:14.528
When I was a disc jockey in Columbus Ohio, you know, I was young, about 22, 23.
00:09:14.528 --> 00:09:24.307
I thought I was tough and I was on the air and Al Green, who was a great performer at that time and still is now now singing gospel music, had a record.
00:09:24.307 --> 00:09:26.342
His first hit record was Backup Train.
00:09:26.342 --> 00:09:31.326
So a guy came in the town and was impersonating Al Green.
00:09:31.326 --> 00:09:42.740
I happened to know Al Green because I'd already booked him, and so when I found out this guy was impersonating Al Green, I came on the air and did an editorial about him and I exposed him.
00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:50.018
He was a rather big fellow and so he had the word out that when I see this guy less from the disc jockey.
00:09:50.018 --> 00:09:52.065
I'm going to knock him in the mouth for having a big mouth.
00:09:52.836 --> 00:10:01.339
So I was driving down Main Street in Columbus, ohio, had my son in the car and I always had this little saying hey, if anybody will put a threat on me, I'm going to make them honor it.
00:10:01.339 --> 00:10:06.664
So I saw this guy on the street, so I pull around, I say excuse me, I'll be right back.
00:10:06.664 --> 00:10:09.948
Got out of the car I say, hey, man, I heard you said that you were looking for me.
00:10:09.948 --> 00:10:10.789
I'm Les Brown.
00:10:10.789 --> 00:10:11.811
He said you are.
00:10:11.811 --> 00:10:12.230
I said yeah.
00:10:12.230 --> 00:10:19.761
I said what is it?
00:10:19.861 --> 00:10:39.261
I'm the one that said to hurt your feelings I want you to acknowledge your fears, carry yourself accordingly and do what makes sense for you.
00:10:39.261 --> 00:10:48.451
Well, one major fear I've always had is a fear of the dentist, and this fear had me.
00:10:48.451 --> 00:10:54.575
I didn't have that fear and what really in for reinforced it, you got to watch things that can feed your fear.
00:10:54.575 --> 00:10:57.904
I saw a movie that most people would not remember.
00:10:57.904 --> 00:11:04.691
This movie was starring Dustin Hoffman's, called the marathon man, with Lawrence Olivier.
00:11:04.691 --> 00:11:08.822
He's trying to get a confession out of here and he took this drill out.
00:11:08.822 --> 00:11:14.663
Let me tell you something when he went in Dustin Hoffman's mouth with that drill, I had a dollar worth of popcorn.
00:11:14.663 --> 00:11:16.788
That popcorn went everywhere.
00:11:16.788 --> 00:11:18.895
Do you know?
00:11:18.995 --> 00:11:21.879
I could not go to the dentist for five years.
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:28.168
I had left broadcasting, went to the Ohio legislature, had an impacted wisdom tooth.
00:11:28.168 --> 00:11:34.486
Now that hurts and I would call and as soon as the people would answer the phone I would hang up.
00:11:34.486 --> 00:11:36.639
That's how frightening it was.
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:38.504
Dr Hamler's office Boom, I'd hang up.
00:11:38.504 --> 00:11:42.710
Then I got to the point where I could just ask for an appointment.
00:11:42.710 --> 00:11:48.966
Hello, and I wouldn't give my real name because I knew I wasn't going to keep it.
00:11:48.966 --> 00:11:53.684
I'd give anybody's name Joe, jiggly, jim, it didn't matter.
00:11:53.684 --> 00:11:57.524
But pretty soon I got to the point where I could give my name.
00:11:57.524 --> 00:11:59.842
It was about four years after that, you know.
00:11:59.842 --> 00:12:01.900
So my name is Les Brown.
00:12:01.900 --> 00:12:05.808
Then I would call back and say look here, due to to my legislative agenda, I won't be able to make it.
00:12:07.053 --> 00:12:09.764
So the lady finally said on phone said you're scared, aren't you?
00:12:09.764 --> 00:12:11.330
I said no, I'm not.
00:12:11.330 --> 00:12:12.717
She said then why don't you come in?
00:12:12.717 --> 00:12:14.865
I says none of your business.
00:12:14.865 --> 00:12:18.938
She said you're not coming in because you're scared.
00:12:18.938 --> 00:12:21.184
I wish you just would not waste our time.
00:12:21.184 --> 00:12:21.897
And she hung up.
00:12:21.897 --> 00:12:24.865
I said you have no right to do that to people like me, you know.
00:12:25.254 --> 00:12:27.744
So, finally, to make it long and short, I was hurting so bad.
00:12:27.744 --> 00:12:29.221
I said wait a minute, I've got to do something.
00:12:29.221 --> 00:12:31.000
And I said what am I afraid of?
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.083
Go there and handle it.
00:12:32.083 --> 00:12:32.636
I said man.
00:12:32.636 --> 00:13:13.434
I said Dr Hamill, I just can't hear this drill, no-transcript it.
00:13:13.434 --> 00:13:16.443
And we did not die.
00:13:16.443 --> 00:13:20.417
They didn't come, take us and put us in a box somewhere, am I right?
00:13:20.417 --> 00:13:24.394
So what we've got to begin to do, how do we handle that?
00:13:24.394 --> 00:13:26.702
What's the process, because it's all up in here.
00:13:26.702 --> 00:13:31.461
One, I think, is imagine the worst-case scenario.
00:13:31.461 --> 00:13:44.590
I just imagine that he went in my mouth and with this drill and that I just croaked out, then I imagine that's the worst case scenario.
00:13:44.590 --> 00:13:52.927
Then I had another technique I used Visualize yourself being more than able and capable of handling it.
00:13:53.615 --> 00:14:01.677
I used to have a tremendous inferiority complex about speaking before people that I felt who had more going for them than I did, because I'm not college trained.
00:14:01.677 --> 00:14:05.567
I used to feel that college people were the most intelligent people on the planet and there was nothing I had to say for them than I did.
00:14:05.567 --> 00:14:06.207
Because I'm not college trained.
00:14:06.207 --> 00:14:08.875
I used to feel that college people were the most intelligent people on the planet and there was nothing I had to say for them.
00:14:08.875 --> 00:14:09.615
And what would I?
00:14:09.615 --> 00:14:11.360
What will they listen to me for?
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:27.327
That's the way I felt, and so I had to to visualize myself speaking before them, speaking before various audiences that had more going for them than I did, and realize and appreciate my own value and that I was a worthwhile person, even though I didn't have all going for me.
00:14:27.327 --> 00:14:29.741
I didn't have the money, I didn't have the education that they had.
00:14:29.815 --> 00:14:47.144
So part of the process is seeing yourself being worthy, being capable, having what you need to make you a worthwhile person, and that you're more than able and that you deserve to be listened to or you deserve to have that dream and that passion and whatever it is that you see and envision there.
00:14:47.144 --> 00:14:50.464
You've got to see it in your mind's eye and know that you've got what it takes.
00:14:50.464 --> 00:14:51.307
Repeat after me, please.
00:14:51.307 --> 00:15:03.390
I must see in my mind's eye, see myself confronting my fears, handling my fears.
00:15:03.390 --> 00:15:10.004
I'm more than able Shake somebody's hand on your right and left and say you got the right stuff.
00:15:10.004 --> 00:15:27.816
So deciding as you look at your life, as you look into the future, and say what fears am I holding on to?
00:15:27.816 --> 00:15:31.903
What fears that I'm allowing to imprison me?
00:15:31.903 --> 00:15:38.557
That's keeping me from breaking out, that's keeping me from living up to my true potential.
00:15:38.557 --> 00:15:47.091
That's keeping me from really being happy, that's keeping me from having a sense of adventure and excitement in my life.
00:15:47.091 --> 00:15:51.206
What's keeping me from controlling my destiny?
00:15:51.206 --> 00:15:55.605
What fears that I'm giving that permission?
00:15:55.605 --> 00:16:18.282
To Notice what I said, that we must give our permission to fear to immobilize us, because whatever discomfort you experience, whatever challenges or difficulty that it is, you got to handle it, got to go up in there and wrestle with it.
00:16:18.282 --> 00:16:19.019
Will it be easy?
00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:20.778
No.
00:16:20.778 --> 00:16:22.042
Will it be challenging?
00:16:22.042 --> 00:16:22.745
Yes.
00:16:24.018 --> 00:16:26.062
A friend of mine who's going into recovery.
00:16:26.062 --> 00:16:31.184
He's been addicted to crack cocaine for years and alcohol.
00:16:31.184 --> 00:16:37.655
He was talking about how challenging it was and why he was dreading going on going into cold turkey.
00:16:37.655 --> 00:16:40.697
I said what do you want me to tell you?
00:16:40.697 --> 00:16:42.019
That it's going to be a picnic?
00:16:42.019 --> 00:16:43.460
No, it's not.
00:16:43.460 --> 00:16:47.001
It's going to kick your butt yes, it is.
00:16:49.643 --> 00:16:50.724
Are you going to want to die?
00:16:50.724 --> 00:16:52.764
Yes, yes, that's a part of it.
00:16:52.764 --> 00:16:58.587
But that's just what you must go through in order to get where you want to go.
00:16:58.587 --> 00:16:59.408
And guess what?
00:16:59.408 --> 00:17:01.690
You are strong enough to do it.
00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:06.156
You're strong enough and your life is worth.
00:17:06.156 --> 00:17:12.459
Whatever you have to go through to get past this addiction, whatever you have to do.
00:17:12.459 --> 00:17:14.111
This dream you got.
00:17:14.111 --> 00:17:15.073
Whatever you want to do.
00:17:15.073 --> 00:17:17.757
Will it be easy to just run out there and do it?
00:17:17.757 --> 00:17:18.196
No.
00:17:18.196 --> 00:17:19.499
Will it happen overnight?
00:17:19.499 --> 00:17:20.059
No.
00:17:20.059 --> 00:17:21.903
Will it be a struggle?
00:17:21.903 --> 00:17:22.523
Yes.
00:17:22.523 --> 00:17:25.277
Will there be times when you can't make ends meet?
00:17:25.277 --> 00:17:26.555
Yes, that's a part of it.
00:17:26.555 --> 00:17:27.710
Will there be times you won can't make ends meet?
00:17:27.710 --> 00:17:28.195
Yes, that's a part of it.
00:17:28.195 --> 00:17:29.133
Will there be times you won't know what to do?
00:17:29.133 --> 00:17:30.195
Yes, that's a part of it.
00:17:30.195 --> 00:17:32.335
Will you have some opposition?
00:17:32.335 --> 00:17:33.473
Will things go wrong?
00:17:33.473 --> 00:17:35.756
Sometimes you will have many visits from Murphy.
00:17:38.773 --> 00:17:40.156
Now, if you say well, who's Murphy?
00:17:40.156 --> 00:17:52.463
Don't worry, somebody must have told us someplace along the line.
00:17:52.463 --> 00:17:57.577
I don't know where, but somebody must have told people oh, life is going to be real easy.
00:17:57.577 --> 00:18:04.253
No, if they told you that I've got a special announcement, they lied.
00:18:04.253 --> 00:18:06.240
I'll never forget.
00:18:06.829 --> 00:18:12.755
I had a special piece of legislation I wanted to get passed and I said to a guy I said look here, can I count on your vote?
00:18:12.755 --> 00:18:16.050
He said yes, and look here, if I can't count on it, let me know.
00:18:16.050 --> 00:18:21.652
There's another guy that owes me a chip and I can call on that and I won't need your vote, but I do need it.
00:18:21.652 --> 00:18:23.335
If you say you're going to do it, do?
00:18:23.335 --> 00:18:25.238
He said you can count on it.
00:18:25.238 --> 00:18:27.122
Legislation came up.
00:18:27.122 --> 00:18:29.771
He voted against my bill, my bill passed.
00:18:29.771 --> 00:18:36.096
I went back to him and said hey, I told you I needed the vote, but if you couldn't give it up, let me know I would get somebody else.
00:18:36.096 --> 00:18:37.219
I said why didn't you tell me?
00:18:37.219 --> 00:18:38.662
He said I lied.
00:18:38.662 --> 00:18:44.613
I was in shock.
00:18:45.635 --> 00:18:49.996
How many of you that life just wore you out that you didn't expect that.
00:18:49.996 --> 00:18:56.441
You thought you'd go to school, get good grades, get a job, and you came out here and you'd be able to get a job and live happily ever after.
00:18:56.441 --> 00:18:57.999
And you say they lied.
00:18:57.999 --> 00:19:00.954
Yes, they did.
00:19:00.954 --> 00:19:02.941
They never told me.
00:19:02.941 --> 00:19:05.915
You know that song that says Mama told me there'd be days like this.
00:19:05.915 --> 00:19:08.291
They didn't even tell us that.
00:19:08.291 --> 00:19:09.634
Isn't that something about?
00:19:09.634 --> 00:19:10.637
Life is challenging.
00:19:10.637 --> 00:19:12.309
I mean, it's some stuff you get out here.
00:19:12.309 --> 00:19:13.333
You didn't read it in a book.
00:19:13.333 --> 00:19:17.111
Nowhere didn't nobody warn you that it was gonna come down on you like this.
00:19:17.111 --> 00:19:18.413
That's called life.
00:19:18.413 --> 00:19:20.659
There are kind of challenges like that.
00:19:20.699 --> 00:19:24.032
So what's the next piece is that you accept yourself.
00:19:24.032 --> 00:19:27.961
Then you accept the fear as a fact and not a force.
00:00:02.584 --> 00:00:19.472
00:00:19.472 --> 00:00:24.181
00:00:24.181 --> 00:00:35.493
00:00:35.493 --> 00:00:37.776
00:00:37.776 --> 00:00:48.548
00:00:48.548 --> 00:01:02.710
00:01:02.710 --> 00:01:14.527
00:01:14.527 --> 00:01:23.328
00:01:23.328 --> 00:01:27.594
00:01:27.594 --> 00:01:33.462
00:01:33.462 --> 00:01:35.671
00:01:35.671 --> 00:01:36.332
00:01:36.332 --> 00:01:37.778
00:01:37.778 --> 00:01:44.296
00:01:44.296 --> 00:01:46.301
00:01:46.802 --> 00:01:52.611
00:01:52.611 --> 00:02:00.820
00:02:00.820 --> 00:02:06.311
00:02:06.311 --> 00:02:08.323
00:02:08.323 --> 00:02:15.866
00:02:15.866 --> 00:02:20.640
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:32.048
00:02:32.048 --> 00:02:37.485
00:02:37.485 --> 00:02:47.012
00:02:47.120 --> 00:03:04.111
00:03:04.111 --> 00:03:11.842
00:03:11.842 --> 00:03:21.164
00:03:21.164 --> 00:03:31.495
00:03:31.495 --> 00:03:36.129
