Hi Sheila,
I have been pondering the answer to this question since it was first posted and my feeling about this is:
I don't really think people have a fear of success, my thinking is more so that they have a fear of the time and money it takes to invest in a new business challenge.

I had a friend of mine sign up a few months ago. Before I even had time to send my welcome letter he had opted right out of everything stating that he had no time to do this business. I think that a lot of affiliates sign up, see all of the material and get confused. They don't even give the sponsors a chance to give them a hand before they decide it is too much....this is the time investment of what I was talking about.

Monetary wise, a new affiliate will stay in usually for roughly two months, in which they can achieve EA by doing all of the ledger items. Once they realize after month two that they potentially have to spend some money now to reach EA, they soon do not show up on the mover list any longer.

I have been involved in many various businesses over the years, some of which I gave my all to and others I kind of let go to the wayside. Those of which I gave my all to, I figured had great potential, the others after joining decided they were not really for me. It wasn't a fear of success that hindered me in any of these other businesses, I just had to really believe in what I was doing and selling. If you can't get excited about your own business, then who will?

Your own enthusiasm filters through your team and gives them a positive outlook on what they are doing and trying to achieve.

Hope this is helpful to you.
