Not afraid of failure: a passage from the book.

You are not trying to prove that the business would have worked. It might have failed. The point is that until now the right-hand column did not exist on paper, while the left-hand column has been loud in your head for years. Now both are written in the same ink. Which one looks bigger to you?

From chapter 9: The price of the safe choice

So what does courage actually do, if it doesn't delete anything? It writes a second memory next to the first. Every time you act while afraid and the disaster you predicted doesn't arrive, the second memory tends to get a little stronger. The first one is still there. It just loses more arguments.
