You’ve heard of fear of failure — but what about fear of success? Yup, it’s a thing. And it’s sneaky.
In this episode, I’m sharing a fresh-off-the-call conversation with a fellow entrepreneur who’s bursting with brilliant ideas (sound familiar?), but struggling to turn any of them into consistent revenue. And the truth is, it’s not just shiny object syndrome — it’s something deeper.
Together, we’re unpacking:
- What fear of success really looks like (hint: it’s not what you think)
- Why jumping from idea to idea feels productive — but actually keeps you broke
- How creative distraction is often a cover for something much scarier
- And the real reason success can feel downright uncomfortable (even when we say we want it)
If you’ve ever abandoned an idea the second it started working or found yourself constantly chasing the ‘next big thing,’ this one’s for you. Hit play — let’s talk about it.
