91. What If They Buy? Overcoming Fear of Success

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us - Marianne Williamson   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.  And recently, it all came full circle.  The other day, a student of mine posted a question on our A-Lister Facebook Page that went something like this:  How do I deal with the fear of success? 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.  That post got me thinking. When I dug into myself, I realized I’ve faced this fear multiple times in my own career.  And I’m sure you have too.  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.  Listen to the episode now and come find me on my Instagram (@salome.schillack) to continue the conversation!
