Rising Above Fear: Inspiring Tale of Opportunity and Triumph w/ Mitch Aguiar

from Apogee Strong · host Matt Beaudreau

Opportunities rarely arrive. Looking for opportunities is difficult, especially if you don’t know how to. But sometimes, when there is an opportunity, people don’t take advantage of it because they are afraid to fail. Fearful that they will lose and just hurt them. But regret is the only thing that comes out of having a fear of taking opportunities. Mitch Aguiar shares his life journey from being a Navy SEAL to being a jiu-jitsu fighter champion and entrepreneur. Opportunities do not always come into our lives,  so when it shows up, you must have the courage to step in and try it. Learn to eliminate your fear of failing, and just do your best in what you must do. Tune in as they talk about life, personal growth, entrepreneurship, and more! Quotes: “How you do anything is how you do everything, and excellent is the only acceptable standard.” – Mitch Aguiar “I don't know if I'm going to fail, I don't know if I'm going to succeed, but I'm willing to try it. And I'm willing to make an effort. And when you show up and give effort consistently, you're bound to have results.” – Mitch Aguiar “Having a business is ridiculously hard because it requires much effort. It's not ever smooth. And when it is great, take it and enjoy it, but understand that it won't be easy, and that's okay. You just have to be willing to continuously give effort and try your best to solve the problems.  – Mitch Aguiar Takeaways: Take advantage of the opportunities when it is represented. If it is worth a try, then do it. Don’t be afraid. Fear is the only thing that blocks us from taking opportunities in front of us. In everything we do, there is a chance that we fail. But if you fear failing, you will just leave yourself with regret. Thus, don’t focus on your fear of failing. Instead, try things out; if you fail, it’s not the end of the world, so just try again. Businesses are all about problem-solving. It is inevitable to run into problems when you have a business. Hence, you need to give all your effort and do your best to solve the problems. Conclusion: Don’t be afraid to take advantage of opportunities. Just try it, and you will see. You can’t determine if you will fail or succeed, but what’s more important is that you try and make an effort to take action. Remember, every effort you make is not pointless. Even if you fail, there will be significant results from it.
