The goal isn't to eliminate fear or frustration, but to get stronger at handling them. Hard things don't get easier - you just get stronger.

For Type 1 (fear-based) individuals, the solution is developing faith greater than fear when taking risks into the unknown. This means having faith that difficult conversations will work out better than anticipated, rather than avoiding them.

The key is to micro-dose fear by deliberately engaging in uncomfortable situations, especially difficult conversations with people you work with regularly. Practice should be within meaningful contexts tied to your mission, not random interactions with strangers.

Through consistent exposure to fear-inducing situations, you build tolerance and realize that outcomes are often better than your worst-case predictions.
