Hi Sheila,
Fear of success is something that I have had to deal with in the past. It left me alone for many years until I joined SFI and saw progress
Years ago, when I took a hard look at my fear of success to the point where I sabotaged each success, I realized I had a fear of failure. I was trying with all of my might; I wanted to win. A part of myself wasn't ready so rather than fail by trying, rather than stopping (thinking that was like quitting), I set myself up to fail. Of course, I got angry with myself.
When I joined SFI, I got my own business with my own hours. I need to work at home and have flexible hours for I am on disability. Success? I was and I still am ready. I have goals as always but this time around I am making sure that my hard work doesn't go to waste like rotten tomatoes.
What might help any of your team members who fear success is that you support them, talk them through it. It might be like what I found with myself, a fear of failure.
What I taught myself, too, was that it's alright to fail as long as I tried. I'm not as hard on myself now.
All the best. Happy New Year!
