I am afraid that you underestimate your competition.
I am afraid that you will not go the extra mile.
I am afraid that you aren’t leaving it all on the playing field.
I am afraid that you could have done a little bit more and that it would have been the difference between winning and losing.
I am afraid you are just going through the motions.
I am afraid you are going to hit the snooze button.
I am afraid you are not sweating the small stuff.
I am afraid you are watching television while your competitor is reading a book on sales.
I am afraid that you have forgotten how many people are counting on you.
I am afraid that you aren’t thinking about the consequences.
I am afraid that you are mistaking no action for action.
I am afraid you put too much stock in what other people think.
I am afraid you buy the conventional wisdom.
I am afraid that you believe there is a “do over.”
I am afraid you are not going to take the shot.
I am afraid you will quit inches from the finish line.
I am afraid you are underestimating yourself.
I am afraid you don’t know how good you really are.
What are you afraid of?
