Fear of Success


Listen Later

In this episode we explore the surprising truth that many people, including law firm owners, may be more afraid of success than failure. This is a concept that may seem counterintuitive. After all, why would we be afraid of success? RJon explains how our subconscious mind often seeks comfort and familiarity, even if it means holding us back from achieving our goals.

Failure Is Familiar

To further illustrate this, RJon shares his own experience of hitting rock bottom in 2007 and realizing that his fear of success, not failure was holding him back. He explains that failure was familiar, while success was unknown and uncomfortable. To overcome this, RJon challenged his subconscious resistance and actively worked against it. This is a strategy he advises others to use in order to reach their full potential..

A Simple Business

To overcome the fear of success within your business, it is essential to set up systems and process that promote success. RJon stresses that law firms are simple businesses to run when basic practices are set into place. This includes creating a business plan, tracking cash flow, and documenting systems, policies, and procedures. By consistently implementing and maintaining these processes, you increase your chances of success.
