It's so true, back when I was 18/19 years old I did cold call sales where I would go out to area business and have them sign contracts for Advertising. Many people would rather die than do that and to be honest I sat in my car outside a business for a good 45 minutes the first time I had to do it. Once I built up the nerve I went and did it and found that it was really not bad at all they did not call the police or kick me out they would either say yes or no and that was that. Eventually I could sign up ten or more business in a single day just by walking in and talking to them.

TLDR: The fear of doing something is worse than actually doing it! Don't think just do it and everything will be great.
