I want to do something to stop the proliferation of fears.
I sort of want to call fears out and say, I see you.
I've got you in my crosshairs, and I don't believe you, because here's the deal.
Yeah, you may experience it.
Something happens and you take a risk, and you publically feel humiliated because you
do a face plant in front of everybody, and you wanted to be perfect.
The only real problem is you wanted to be perfect, and you didn't want to acknowledge
that you blew it publically.
Hey, I've done that one.
I got into a webinar that I was trying to do, early on, first one I had ever done, and
I wanted to nail it.
And at the last minute, I found out there's a bunch of stuff that I'd overlooked about
the program I was doing.
So I had to set up two Macs side by side.
I was getting like a second and a half delay in my own ear every time I spoke.
It was driving me crazy, and I didn't say, okay, folks.
I've got a technical problem.
I just kind of crawled out from under the webinar and left.
I said, goodbye, folks.
Crazy, because I didn't want to publically acknowledge that I had just not prepared well
enough, not really known how the equipment worked.
It actually stopped me for a while, and I had to work a long time to get past that place.
Well, look, fear of success is one of those failures that people like to tout, and I want
to tell you something.
I've thought about it a lot.
I've worked with a lot of people, and I've looked at it in myself, and I've been with
clients for over 20 years when they talk about a fear of failure, and then they talk about
fear of humiliation, and they talk about fear of success.
That fear of success one, that one caught my attention.
I wondered about it.
Is it real or is it bogus?
Here's what I've concluded.
Here's what people are really afraid of.
They're not afraid of success itself.
They're afraid that if they become successful, they won't be able to maintain it.
They will fail at being successful.
They will somehow arrive at a pedestal, and then they'll be a one-hit wonder, and they'll
crash and burn.
So they don't want to take the risk.
I'm telling you, what that means is you're really afraid of failure.
You're more afraid of failure--failure, than you are interested in being a success, because
if you're interested in being a success, you have to go for it and drop the fear of failing
and being a success.
It's crazy.
Don't go there.
Fear of failure is being afraid a failure, and you put it first, and it looks like it's
fear of success.
The fear of success is bogus.
The fear of failure, in a way, is a bogus thing too because failure is what feeds more
success.
You have to take risks.
Okay, enough said, but in answer to the question real or bogus, I say fear of success is bogus.
It's that your fear of failure actually is a bigger thing for you than your longing and
your wish and your devotion to success.
Since you're a high achiever you may know about this.
High achievers often hit a wall.
They're going along, they're having one success after another and then suddenly, something
happens and they grind to a halt.
And it's confusing because they're not sure what it is they've done wrong if anything.
They just know that they're not moving anymore the way they're used to moving.
The way they have moved in the past.
If you've run into like what seems like a ceiling over you and you're kind of in a fog
and you're mystified by what's getting in your way, you can even kind of slide into
a swirl of doubts and wonder if you ever really achieved anything significant at all and whether
any of your amazing achievements you have done were anything but kind of fronting or
a little bit of a fraud.
That is really negative and pernicious and it doesn't have to be that way.
