On the surface it might not seem like an obvious connection, but in many ways fear of failure and fear of success are the opposite sides of the same coin.

Fear of failure is concerned about what goes wrong when things don't work out.  Fear of success is concerned about what goes wrong when things do work out. (And, yes, things can still go wrong when we are successful.)

Both fears keep us from taking action, believing it will keep us out of harm’s way.

In this interview with Annabel Fisher we talk about the fears of failure and success, how they are related, and how we can tap for them.
