Fear of success manifests itself in so many ways. As a career coach for executives, I see it in the myriad ways candidates sabotage their job search efforts.

They often believe they are smarter, better or more experienced than others, so the proven tools and methods for job search don’t apply to them. They remain unemployed for an extended time thus proving to themselves, they are really impostors.

The fear of success comes from so many places. Here are a few of my thoughts on overcoming the problem… Taylor’s comments were especially valuable. http://bit.ly/9NUUnS

@ Furacoua – I don’t think it’s a bad thing to try to do something you love and not have it work out. You learn, you experience new things and get to test and try. Even if it bombs, then you’ve come out knowing what NOT to do next time.

From adversity comes growth and strength.

It would be a bad thing to start doing something you love and then it´s not enough to support a family with the money you make. Then maybe it´s better to never start and just keep the dream? I´m not sure…

@James – well, hopefully not single and/or mortgage free for long But thanks – I wanted to work from home and I realised my dreams quicker than I thought. I’m lucky to work full time for a company – it’s like freelancing for one client with all the benefits of a full time gig. So I’ve checked that goal and upwards and onwards to a new one!

Realizing that we’re really afraid of our success can be a big breakthrough. As soon as we can name our fears and own them, then we can move on.

Sometimes, we’re afraid of what it takes to be successful. You know, like hard work. And discipline. And giving up TV.

Thanks for an insightful post.
