Crush Your Fear of Success!

Monday, October 6th, 2008

Welcome to CrushFearOfSuccess.com.  My name is Kevin, and until recently, I was plagued with a gigantic fear of success.  With this blog, I’ll be sharing methods and techniques for overcoming this often-overlooked phobia.

I know, I know, I can already hear it.  “Fear of success? What’s that?  Shouldn’t you be talking about fear of failure?”

It’s different than fear of failure.  That’s right – a lot of us out there are actually afraid to achieve the things we want in our careers, relationships, and life in general.

The thing that’s going through our minds is, “When I become successful, what else in my life is going to change?”  Then, negative thoughts start creeping in.  Thoughts like:

“I don’t deserve to be successful.”

“If I do achieve success, I won’t be able to hold on to it.”

“My relationships with friends and family will be damaged.  I’ll be on such a different level then them, so I won’t be able to be around them.  They’ll probably even resent me for achieving success.”

These negative thoughts then lead to negative actions, like doing the wrong thing even when you know what’s right, in order to avoid the “hassle of success,” minimizing the importance of your accomplishments, and even feeling guilty when you attain success, leading to a loss of interest and drive in doing anything at all.

So, if the above describes you, I’m really glad you came to this blog.  I know you’ll get a lot out of it.

Tomorrow, I’ll give you some techniques you can implement right away so you can be on the road to crushing that pesky fear of success, and start building the life of abundance and prosperity you’ve only dreamed of before!
