Ep 414: 5 Signs You're Scared of Success


Listen Later

Fearing success is actually way more common than you'd think. And that's kinda crazy, right?

Even though we're consciously working towards it, we unconsciously stop ourselves from getting it. It's no wonder we can feel so stuck.

Fear of success means that you are scared that you'll actually be able to accomplish the things you've been thinking about… and that feels so uncertain and unfamiliar that you hold yourself back.

At every level of your business, you can experience this fear of success.

I'm at the level of success I'm at now and I'm still experiencing this. I have to get myself to a new self-image where I'm able to create more success and feel safe in that success.

In this podcast episode, I share why we experience fear of success and my personal struggles with it. I also talk about 5 of the signs that you're scared of success and what to do about it.

Fear of success might actually be the thing that's stopping you from taking those next steps in your business. Listen to this episode now.
