Often, when you reach a new level of success, you realize you don’t have as much free time as you used to. This is another reason people fear success.
In my case, I became quite comfortable with dwindling away my time, particularly after work (I clocked out at 3:30, giving me lots of time the rest of the day to be productive) and on the weekends. Instead of using this time wisely, I roamed the internet aimlessly, and vegged in front of the t.v., accompanied by my good friend Jack Daniels…
…And I liked it that way. It was easy not having to put any effort into anything. I knew in the back of my mind that if I did anything worthwhile it would just lead to more work. That’s one of the things I was afraid of. I didn’t want more work, more responsibility, or more of anything out of life.
So what is it that made me change?
A simple shift in mindset. I just realized it couldn’t go on like that anymore. I wanted to make more money. I wanted to move out of my parents’ house. I wanted to get out of the trap I was in. I knew that the new demands of my time would be well worth the better life that was ahead of me. Suddenly, I got excited about having new tasks added to my schedule.
If you’re not taking action to move further ahead in your life, you need to make this same kind of change in your thinking. For even more tips and tricks on how to make the change happen, head over to nofearofsuccess.com.
