You Have the Power Within Yourself (at This Very Moment) to Get Over Your Fear of Failure

In the video from Business Insider below, life coach, motivational speaker, and author Tony Robbins shares how you can understand and control your fear—even going so far as explaining how to use that instinct to your advantage.
