Fear like stress is a very common factor in small business and it needs to be tackled before the fear of losing everything materializes into being. When you take up a project in a small business there are chances that you get stuck at the topmost peak of the triangle and lack of movement to both the sides of the triangle might result in the lack of growth in business. This stagnancy gives a lifetime threat to some people and you tend to stop the progress from the break-even point.



Michael Clark explains the situation of an entrepreneur at this stage as going through the cycle of change that includes the fear of losing the present business level, doubts regarding the strategies, new ideas of recovery or innovation, sticking to the functional aspect of change and integrating the change with your life. The most important aspect is recognizing the stage of fear and move past it to the stage of confirmations. It is like moving from the break-even point to the point of optimum satisfaction.
