Want to write more effectively, but can't seem to find the right words? Erik Deckers shares 12 tips to instantly make you a faster, more persuasive and more successful business writer.

1. Look fear in the face -- and get to the root of it. Ask: What makes you fearful in your career -- and why? What's the worst thing that could happen if you took a calculated risk?
2. Acknowledge the positives. Review risks you have taken recently that have succeeded. What made them work? How can you incorporate those techniques into other potentially fearful situations?
3. Challenge yourself. Accept at least one new opportunity, however large or small, each month.
4. Develop a fearless team. Create a culture that accepts failure and rewards learning. When failure occurs, ask "What did you learn?" rather than "What went wrong?"
