Fearless

"To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.”
As a follow up up to last weeks blog, I want to discuss one of the characteristics that I feel has helped Taylor Swift become so successful. Previoulsy mentioned, Taylor's ability to take risks has played a crucial role in her rocket to success. In the beginning stages of her career she took many leaps of faith turning down record companies who wouldn't let her have the freedom she wanted. Thus leading her to Big Machine records who let Taylor take the reigns on her career. Another example of her taking risks was her bold move on changing her genre. Few artists could change their music style 180 degrees and get away with it. By taking this chance, she came out with her most successful album yet, 1989. 
Taylor's career has been full of bold moves, failure, trial, and overwhelming success. We can learn a thing or two from Taylor here about never being afraid of failure and taking leaps of faith. The rewards and lessons are far more worth trying than not. Thank you Taylor for being such an inspiration.
