"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

The above title is actually a quotation from Franklin D Roosevelt's inaugural address and I think is an appropriate one for this post.

For me, today was a day of reflection - connecting the Fearless Planet message with the results we are trying to achieve. The fact that Danielle came up with the Fearless Planet name was no coincidence. It is something I admired and respected about her from the very beginning - that she would never give in to fear because it was fear and fear alone that would keep her from achieving great things.

When she was in her late teens she decided to cycle across two states in the US completely alone and without the consent of her parents. For most people that would be hard to do but for a small, attractive blonde girl it was exceptional.

So our organization - Fearless Planet, is really about showing some people here in this developing country that fear of the unknown and fear of competing with the success they see in the developed world is a sure way of avoiding success themselves. By conquering those fears and believing in their own abilities they can achieve great things and bring prosperity to their families and communities.

The Fearless ideal doesn't stop there however. We hope in some small way that the example they set will serve as inspiration to people who purchase the products or just come into contact with Fearless Planet, to help confront and conquer their fears and achieve success in their own lives.
