About This Quote

In a business setting, fear of rejection or failure can be a crippling force. In order to overcome the fear of these things, it is necessary to be close to people you can trust. The more intimate the relationship, the more vulnerable you are to rejection and failure. The closer you are with people you can trust, however, the less fear there is in your life.
