Welcome back to another episode of Harmonious at Lunch, the show that fuels your business success. I’m your host, Brandon Gano, and today we’re diving into a topic that’s often overlooked but incredibly important: overcoming the fear of success. Joining me is Kevin Palmieri, CFO, Founder, and Co-Host of the Next Level University podcast, a global top 100 self-improvement podcast with over 1,650 episodes and 900K+ listens in more than 170 countries.

Kevin has a remarkable journey that began in his mid-20s when he seemingly had it all – a high-paying job, a sports car, a beautiful girlfriend, and his dream body. Yet, despite these achievements, he found himself sitting on the edge of a bed, contemplating suicide. This rock-bottom moment was a turning point that led him to commit to holistic self-improvement and ultimately build a multi six-figure business impacting hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

Why You Should Listen

In this episode, Kevin shares his unique insights into overcoming the fear of success, a challenge that many high achievers face but rarely discuss. Through his personal experiences and professional journey, Kevin provides practical steps and real-world examples that can help you identify and conquer your own fears of success.

Key Takeaways

1. Identify the Root Cause of Your Fear: Understanding where your fear of success originates is crucial. It often stems from past experiences of bullying or negative feedback when you achieved something significant.
2. Redefine Your Circle: Surround yourself with people who support and uplift you. This might mean distancing yourself from those who drag you down and finding a new community that celebrates your successes.
3. Build a Supportive Community: Engage with like-minded individuals who encourage you to reach your full potential. A strong, supportive community can provide the validation and motivation needed to overcome your fears.
