The only way you're not going to be afraid is to actually, like, put yourself and confront that fear because that's the only way that the fear goes away.

Small Wins

Cohen emphasizes the significance of small, consistent steps in achieving larger goals. She uses fitness as an analogy, suggesting that starting with small actions can lead to significant progress 3. This mindset helps in overcoming the initial mental barriers that often prevent people from taking action.

Anything's a skill that you need to practice. I was not always this way. But over time, as you win smaller, what you have small wins or you kind of put yourself out there and you act going, doing, not just sitting around thinking about it.

--- Jennifer Cohen

By focusing on small wins, individuals can build the confidence needed to pursue bolder goals 4.
