Do You Fear Success?
Are you letting the fear of success scare you to the point of actually failing?
This is an interesting phenomenon. I know back in my sales manager days and now with some of my coaching clients, I show them how they can be successful, but they just can’t seem to take that extra step, to move forward, to take ACTION. And what’s even more interesting, most of their fears are not true.
Most recently, I’ve had clients that I recommend they do a mailing to their customer list with a special offer. At times, this can be in the hundreds of customers. Nine times out of ten, first thing out of their mouth…”What if they all call me, I can’t keep up?”
When you think about it….that is EXACTLY what you want to happen. You want more business. But right off the bat, you scare yourself with the “fear of success”. Now the reality is, very rarely does everyone take you up on your offer. But, we USE that rational to keep us from being successful.
On the flip side, let’s say for fun….the majority of you customers take you up on your offer. GREAT! Believe me, if it happened, you would be able to figure a way to handle it all.
I’ve heard this quote from another person and I love it…., “Do it NOW…clean up the mess later”. When you think about it…it’s a great quote. At least you get started….moves you to ACTION, which is very important.
Don’t let the fear of success stop you…do something…do anything…Do it now…and you can clean up the mess later.
To Your Success,
Steve
