On Dec 26, Thursday, Lori Greiner from Shark Tank posted a video on her official Instagram account (@loregreinershark) where she discusses the need to overcome your fear and take the long-awaited first step. It is only after someone takes that step that they can achieve their goals. She also talks about how it is important to be proud of doing something rather than being afraid of something you ever try.

She starts the video by acknowledging that fear is one of the main reasons why people often fail to become successful in life.

"Fear...Everyone has it, right? What stops people from being successful is the fear of taking that first step, right?"
"You just can't be afraid. What I always say is, take that first step because every time you take a risk, you get closer to your goal. You get closer to having happen what you really want to have happen in your life."

The Shark Tank investor continues as she encourages her audience to push themselves to make the move and get closer to their goals. She further reveals how it is only taking action that can help people achieve what they always wanted.

"Be proud of what you try versus afraid of what you don't or ashamed of what you don't. Take that first risk cause taking a risk is the real success in life."

She wraps up by encouraging people to shift their mindset and instead of being afraid of failure, they should be proud of trying, regardless of the outcome. She emphasizes how taking that first step, even if you fail, is a success in itself.
