TIP #2 ESCAPE FROM FUD (FEAR – UNCERTIANTY – DOUBT)

As soon as you feel FUD approaching, find a trusting friend or associate quickly and share your concerns, you will be amazed by how trivial and also so natural self talk and an idle imagination can talk you out of the surest course of action if it involves time and the need for patience.
