Are You Afraid Of Success?
I was listening to a recording made at a success seminar recently.
The speaker said something I thought was really interesting.
He said, “It’s not failure we’re afraid of, it’s success.”
It was one those “ah ah” moments for me.
As you know I have always been curious why some people
succeed and some don’t.
My first report on ’success vs failure’ was ‘Fail Faster
for Success’.. in that report I suggested that failing
faster in low-risk situations was the way to help you
succeed faster because, if you can eliminate what does
not work, you can more quickly discover what does work.
If you haven’t downloaded that report or lost your copy
you can get it here (I renamed it, but it’s the same report
with updated information):

What this speaker said made a lot of sense to me.
The tools, the resources, the information and everything
you need to succeed is readily available. So why do people
still choose ‘failure’ over success?
The reason is they are more comfortable as a ‘failure’.
Strange as that sounds when you hear it, it’s true.
In order to succeed you have to move from ‘comfortable’
to ’scary’ positions in your life.
You have to start doing things you’re not used to- things
that are a little ’scary’ at first. Like making more money
and taking on more responsibility.
If you don’t think you’re afraid of making more money, you’re
kidding yourself.
With more money comes more responsibility, and more responsibility
is scary for most people. Right?
Don’t be afraid of the responsibility that comes with success,
come to terms with it, face it head-on and embrace it instead.
But success is nothing more than a habit that ANYONE can develop.
If you can develop success habits, your success is just about
guaranteed!
For example: What do you do each day to reach your goals?
Do you even have goals?
Ok… then write down what you would like to accomplish each
day, week or month.
Since we’re talking about making more money, how much, at a
minimum would you like to earn each month?
Once you have that figure work backwards and determine HOW
you’re going to get to that figure. In other words, what do
you have to do TODAY to make your goal for the month?
If you said you want to make $10,000 per month, fine.
That’s $333.33 a day. Not out-of-reach for anyone. It’s
very possible to do, and not all that hard.
I can hear you saying, “Yeah right. Maybe for you it’s easy,
but I could never make that much.”
If you just said that to yourself, then you are guilty of
being afraid of success.
Stop yourself and realize that it’s only success and it’s
partner “responsibility” that you’re afraid of. Once you
know your enemy then you can overcome it.
So, what can you do to reach that goal.. starting today?
Get more listings up on ebay… build your opt-in list,
send out JV proposals, build more websites…
What do you have TO DO?
Success is a habit. Start doing what you need to do today
and every day and petty soon it becomes a HABIT. You will
get better and more efficient at what you do and more
successful as you develop better work habits.
You’ll make mistakes and have small failures, but that will
help you learn what NOT to do, so you can focus on what
you should do (re-read my “Fail Faster For Success” report.)
Keep a TO DO list in front of you to help keep you on
track.
You see? Success is not hard. But you have to be un-afraid
to succeed. It is scary to move away from those comfortable
things you used to do- like watch TV or surf the net all
day without a goal…
But the results are worth it.
Don’t be afraid of success. Embrace it.
