91. What If They Buy? Overcoming Fear of Success

<p><strong><em>Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us - Marianne Williamson</em></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">I’ve loved that quote for years. Though I didn’t always fully understand it, some part of Marianne’s words have always stuck with me. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">And recently, it all came full circle. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">The other day, a student of mine posted a question on our A-Lister Facebook Page that went something like this: </span></p> <p><strong><em>How do I deal with the fear of success?</em></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">She’d recently added 500 new people to her email list and was terrified that her course wouldn’t be able to deliver. That she would be a disappointment to her students and that she would be discovered as a fraud. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">That post got me thinking. When I dug into myself, I realized I’ve faced this fear</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 300;">multiple</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 300;">times in my own career. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">And I’m sure you have too. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">So, in today’s episode of The Shine Show, I break down the fear of success (with a little help from psychology, coaching theory, and my 7-year old daughter) and give you FIVE top tips on how to get over it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 300;">Listen to the episode now and come find me on my Instagram (@salome.schillack) to continue the conversation! </span></p>
