A friend of mine, Julie, recently decided to make a complete career change and her fears are all too common.
An incredible 76 per cent of Australians are considering a job change this year but they’re letting one thing stop them. Can this really work out? Will I make any money? Will I end up back in a job in a few months – with my tail between my legs because I didn’t “make it” on my own?
We’ve all heard about the fear of failure … but what about the fear of success? How do you know you’re experiencing it – and what might it be costing you? Because our belief system drives our day-to-day thoughts, which determine our actions, that produce our results, fear of success stops us from receiving the good that’s waiting for us on the other side of taking fresh, inspired action.
Human beings are wired for safety and comfort, not change. We fear what we don’t know and so avoid seeking it out – often until the pain or frustration of staying where we are becomes too great.When we transition into something new – we often fear losing an established reputation and even personal relationships as a result. Julie is a respected manager in a well-known company. Shifting identity into a life coach can be a scary one.
