Freelancer's Futuristics Series - Freelancer's Fear: Symptoms, Root-Cause Analysis, Self-treatment

Fear in any form hinders a freelancer's productivity and growth. However, the fear is natural, common and in reasonable proportion can work as a growth-driver. In unbalanced and un-examined form, this can be highly negative for a freelancer's professional and social life. This 'fear factor' needs to be examined thoroughly to overcome and manage it in a proper manner. Awareness is the key step in the process.

The webinar points out certain symptoms which can be self-diagnosed. These symptoms are then investigated using root-cause analysis method.
