I decided to write this blog in the early hours of Monday morning after having a conversation with an old friend of mine whom I was meant to meet today but we did not as he felt ashamed to meet due to being broke and feeling uncomforteable to speak his truth.

Before I go into the details on how fear of success can show up and impact your life, let me tell you a story about this guy. This friend is someone I love and respect very much, despite all the time and efforts he has put to attend many personal development workshops, publishing a book, and starting a life coaching company he is not making any money.

Many entrepreneurs that I have coached, mentored and helped to create and develop their business go through this stage where no matter how much effort they put they simply do not make money. What’s been interesting to observe with hundreds of clients is that some people manage to get out of this space of lack easily, and others get stack in this space where they find it difficult to manifest money for years until they decide to do something about it.

Are you also someone who no matter what you do you feel stuck?

The Good News!

You’re a not alone in this situation, what you ought to remember is that you are a doer. You’ve got the brains and the potential to move mountains. But you’ve also got this pesky habit of wanting to avoid the spotlight no matter what. In meetings, you’d rather say silent than voice out your amazing idea.

You fear power and leadership, because you’ve seen others hurt by it. You know you could earn more money, but you’re paralyzed by self-doubt and procrastination. When you think about your past, there may be one or two incidents where your friends or family members were jealous of you and your accomplishments.

This fear just like any other fear doesn’t affect you all the time, but it can still do some damage when you least expect it. Watch out for it, and try to make a mental note of the scenarios in which it creeps up on you.
