Creatives often discuss fear, but Fear of Success isn’t always up for discussion. The Fear of Success can cripple a Creative. It can render us incapable of producing creative works. It can trick us into not even trying. It can stifle our voice and convince us of every misbelief in the book that keeps us from reaching our full potential as creative entrepreneurs. 

Authors Joy E. Rancatore and Mea Smith take a stand against this monster and share their experiences, along with a few tips that have helped them create beyond the fear.
