How to overcome the fear of success

Fear of success is real and believe it or not there are millions across the world who live with this phobia on a daily basis. It is difficult to define because success can come and is judged in so many different forms, but it is bad enough to cause major problems for sufferers – and in extreme cases it can be life changing,

It seems ironic that while so many crave success and the fame and fortune that goes with it, there are those that fear it with the same level of passion – at least it seems that way especially when you discover that success and the way we react to it, means different things to different people. Learning how to overcome the fear of success is the first step towards putting things right - and it happens when you can identify the type of person you are and what is really holding you back.
Fear of success at the most basic level is there for those that never want to be seen to be standing out in a crowd. That could mean never putting your hand up in class or at a meeting, never volunteering or putting yourself forward for even the most mundane of tasks, always sitting in the back row, hoping you will go unnoticed.
