Are You Afraid of Success?

  1. Are You Afraid of Success? Kent Sanders 9:15

I recently launched a new Facebook group called Born to Create. When I asked the group to share a problem or struggle they are currently dealing with, one of the members said, “The number one fight is definitely fear. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of not finishing, fear of too many things!”

The fear of success seems totally counterintuitive. If success is something we all want, why we would fear it? It turns out that success, just like failure, comes with its own set of fears that can hold us back. In this episode, you’ll learn how to deal with four common fears related to success.
