If you make that statement in a normal conversation with people they might look at you as if you are loosing your marbles. They might even tell you that much - but the truth is you are 100% right. It does not make sense does it?
You would think a fear of failure would be what is holding people back but it is not. It just gives them an excuse. It is easier to deal with failure if that is what you expect.
Now imagine you are used to failures and here is an opportunity for you to actually succeed. In the 1st place you are going to think, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. How do you handle an experience if you never dealt with it before? It is not as if they sit there and think I am scared to succeed, no its deep down, they are not even aware of it. I don't mean this nasty or condescending - they need therapy to recognise it before they can do something about it. Like with every problem in life the 1st step is to admit the problem - even if you don't know what it actually is. It is a blockage that needs to be removed - which you can not do.
Does that mean you can do nothing? Certainly not. Take it easy, baby steps, with every small step they take and see success it will give them a taste of how sweet success is and slowly but surely you help them to achieve success. If it happens gradually it is not so scary, it almost happens without them realizing that they are conquering a fear they did not even realize they had.
If somebody has a fear of water - are you going to take him out on a boat and dump him in the middle of the ocean? Of course not - you will slowly but surely get them used to water so they can see if you use your head there is nothing to be scared of.
