In order to help people to overcome the Fear of Success, you need to understand the origins of this fear. When you were growing up how many times did you hear your parents or other family members or role models say the following?
Money does not bring happiness
Money is hard to get.
Money does not grow on trees.
Just because they have money they think that they can behave badly.
The theme goes on and on. In order to move to the next stage of becoming successful it is imperative for people to look at their childhood and find the negative statements about money and success that are holding them back.
Once you can identify the origins you can then overcome the fear that surrounds money and success. The easiest way to do this is to make a list of all the things that would improve the lives of you and your loved ones.
Many people have developed such a fear of success and are so used to living a life of scarcity that they say there is nothing or very little that they need. The accent is on need. They have stifled all their wants. You and your team need to make a list of 100 things that you want. Yes, write down 100 things. They can be big or small, a new car or a candy bar.
Once you have completed your list read it every day for 3 days. On day 4 reduce your list to 20 items, spend another 3 days reviewing this list, on day 4 reduce the list to five items.
Look carefully at each item on your list and visualize how you and your loved ones will feel when this becomes reality. Discuss the items with your family to find the top 3. Now write these 3 onto cards, put one in your wallet or purse, I on the bathroom mirror, 1 in your desk at work and 1 next to your bed so that you will see this last thing at night and first thing in the morning.
Now focus all your energy on achieving these goals, create milestones and time lines for each item and reward yourself each time you meet a milestone.
Milestones are what you use to measure your progress. Maybe you need $1200 for a camping trip, and you decide that you will leave in 12 months time.
Your milestone would be to save $100 each month, your time line is 1 year. Choose a reward that you will enjoy each time you save $100 perhaps a candy bar or an ice cream, The reward must be taken.
Rewards reinforce your success behaviors, as soon as you get your first reward you will know that you are overcoming your fear of success.
Good Luck
