Turn fear into obsession?

[Butters]

I love entrepreneurship. I love researching and building an online business. But the moment I have to promote any of my businesses, I often find myself fleeing and radically wanting to change business model, usually to something where I don't have to interact with customers.

This has been crippling. I've struggled with this so hard for many years now.

I just realized what this is though:

• Fear of being criticized
• Fear of being laughed at
• Fear of being made fun of

Suddenly I recalled a few memories from childhood where I had to present something to class and they all laughed at me. This happened very often I think. Guess that's part of the reason I became a comedian.

Anyhow, I want to turn this fear and "flight" reaction into an obsession / deep love for marketing and interacting with customers. I've made plenty of radical shifts in my life and I know I can turn this "trauma" into a massive strength right now.

So I was wondering if there's any resources on this specific issue, or if anyone knows of a method that deals specifically with turning a phobia into an obsession.

I've already added "I love marketing my business" to my affirmations but that doesn't quite cut it for this one.

Thanks :-)
