Fear of Success

I used to roll my eyes when people talked about fear of success. 

I had NO IDEA what they were talking about.

What could POSSIBLY be the problem with success?! 🤷‍♀️

Surely that would bring confidence, happiness and ALL good things…

Bless my heart. 😀

I achieved partnership at a US law firm … and it felt AMAZING.

It also felt TERRIFYING.

I felt confident in some ways AND extremely insecure in other ways.

The point is … promotions don’t cause our feelings.

If you want to FEEL a certain way, you need to play the INNER game. 🧠

So, I don’t roll my eyes these days when clients tell me they’re afraid of the promotion they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

I’m impressed - they already understand a new title won’t automatically change the way they feel about themselves.

Self-doubt, anxiety or overwhelm don’t disappear with a salary bump.

Which brings me to my second point...

I WANT you to get that promotion AND I want you to ENJOY it. 🙌

That looks like working, RIGHT NOW, on mastering your mindset.

• ➡️ managing stress or self-doubt,
• ➡️ building confidence and emotional control.

With the added BONUS of making it MORE LIKELY you’ll get the promotion.

Inner-confidence, strength and control INCREASE all metrics related to career progression – performance, capacity for growth, self-promotion etc.

So, whether you talk to me; do an online course; read some books; whatever…

My best career advice for you, is to spend a little time NOW, working on the mindset you want to HAVE when you get that promotion.

I’m rooting for you! 🔥
