Are You Afraid of Success?
You might be holding a magic wand. If you've been following along each week, you have most likely been planting seeds for awhile now. Like the vegetables and flowers in your garden, the seeds need nourishment. Water, sunlight, soil and love. If you have been diligently tending to the seeds of your home based business, there is no telling when they could sprout! For some, seeing those sprouts can be very exciting. For others, overwhelming and downright SCARY. What if that big break to happened TOMORROW? The truth is that we are often not prepared for that million dollar break, and it could be a likely reason why it has not happened yet. Are you sabotaging your own success? I believe in the power of manifestation and that often we will subconsiously wish away the things that we are working so hard to acheive- because deep down we don't feel prepared to handle the success. I am afraid... ...if the local news station runs a segment about me, too many people would see, want to buy my product and I wouldn't have enough inventory. ...if I took on more clients, I wouldn't be able to find the time to service them. ...if I made a big sale, I'd have to hire contract help, and then I'd have to pay them. ...if Oprah comes calling, there wouldn't be anyone to pick up my kids from school. Sounds crazy right? These may be other people's fears, but if you are willing to dig a little deeper, you may discover that you have some irrational fears of your own. The truth is, these are common fears that I have heard from many of the self-employed parents that I talk with and coach. Could it be that you are actually afraid of success? Let's at least be honest about WHY you might posses these fears of success. Once you are able to clearly see what is holding you back, a magic wand will be revealed to you. It may be as simple and clear as making a choice to wave it and be ready for bigger and better things. Join us this Friday when we talk about FEAR (in honor of the scariest month of the year)!! I am thrilled to be welcoming back a favorite guest, Danny Koefke!
