Get rid of your fear by facing it directly and start making mistakes. This is easier said than done, but it's worth it. Remind yourself that failure is the path to success.
If you want to learn more about overcoming the fear of making mistakes, find 20 minutes to watch the TED talk by "wrongologist" Kathryn Schulz on being wrong. The journalist and author focuses on how mistakes help us in our lives. She gives advice on how we can admit our own fallibility and why it is good for us. The online version of her speech at the TED 2011 conference has already been seen by nearly 3 million people.
"This internal sense of rightness that we all experience so often is not a reliable guide to what is actually going on in the external world," says Katrhyn Schulz. A video with Czech subtitles and interactive transcript is available on this page.
