Many people seem familiar with the notion of having a fear of failure, but what about the fear of success? This fear has been found to be strongest in women who are highly motivated to succeed, and yet many of us don’t even realize we have it. This is precisely why it is the topic of today’s episode.
We’ll begin by looking at imagining ‘big ass’ goals for yourself, and then I’ll introduce you to Matina Horner and the origins of this concept of fear of failure. We’ll review some of the reasons and ways that we experience this fear, and I’ll share some strategies to help you manage it. Recognizing fear of success and taking steps to address it will go a long way in keeping it from holding you back from achieving the success you have defined for yourself. Today, let’s join together in that journey.
Speaking of journeying together, I remain extremely excited to remind you that I have reopened my Ascend Mastermind to a new cohort! If you’re tired of playing small in your life and work, and you’re ready to identify what you want and how to get there (in a healthy way) while in community with like-minded women, then this Mastermind is definitely for you.
