"Am I going to be too rich or too famous and then lose all my friends?" If you have ever had these or other fears that keep you from dreaming big, this is the episode you need! Becky and Kristen dive deep into the fear of success, a.k.a. "achievemephobia" and break down the reasons we stay stuck in fear rather than move forward toward success.
The fear of success looks pretty similar for most of us. If you are successful you are afraid things will change. (However, if you fail, most likely things will stay the same.) Worrying, "Will I be able to juggle all of it?" or "Am I going to become a totally different person if I have too much money?" is very common. Many fear of not being able to sustain the higher level of success, productivity. Another consistent dream-killer is the idea that others will think you're full of yourself if you are successful and they're not.
Small wins are successes. Only you can define what success looks like in your life. Small wins are successes. Show yourself some self-love as you celebrate the small successes while still reaching for the larger goal. This keeps you motivated to keep progressing. Ease into the changes and recognize that even though things may be changing, you are okay.
