One thing my professional baseball career taught me was not to get to high when things are going well, and never get too down when you're in the midst of a slump. Emotional swings are not conducive to long term success and long term sanity.
The same is true in business. That's why one of the 8-Essential Strategies of the Business Achievement Gym is 'Emotional Mastery & Breaking Through F.E.A.R.' Each month in the program we focus on one of the 8-Essential Strategies, and this month members of my coaching program are focusing on it.
I believe F.E.A.R. (an acronym for busting through fear - False Evidence Appearing Real) is one of the key emotions that prevents us from achieving the highest levels of success. It definitely stifles peak performance.
Those of us who can master our emotions and especially our fear best will end up being most successful.
One component of fear is assessing risk. Most of us don't do it well. My wife saw this article in Time Magazine this week about how human beings assess risk, it's quite enlightening and interesting - check it out:

Are you the master of your emotions? Or do your emotions master you?

When you master your emotions you show that you are in control. People seek advise from those who are in control.
