A Strategic Plan Works With You to Allay Your Fear of Success
A Strategic Plan Works With You to Allay Your Fear of Success
The earliest origins of the fear of success can be potentially traced by to our early childhood education experiences. Remember when you wanted to raise your hand to answer a question, but past experiences kept the hand down. You did not want your classmates possibly teasing you or maybe you were not quite positive that you knew the answer. You didn’t want to fail. And if you did know the correct response, you did not want to be viewed as the teacher’s pet, brown-noser or know it all.
From those early experiences, the fear of success was born and began to develop inside of you. Then other happenings added to this fear and spawned feelings of self doubt along with a lot of brain noise. A mental record then began to play songs with titles such as "Remember when this happened the last time?," "Do you really want to be stupid" or "Are you sure you know the answer?"
Now the fear of success is a rampant infection. However, by adopting an attitude of planning and creating a strategic plan you have begun to cure this disease. Each strategy and written goal are much like antibiotic shots that reduced this fear and bring it once again under your control. Now, you are no longer the victim to the whims and trends of business, but rather the ultimate victor working with the laws of success.
A strategic plan demonstrates that by taking calculated risks you can master success and remove those fears of success. Napoleon Hill recognized that to master success starts inside our brain with our thoughts. And from those very same thoughts, we can "think and grow rich."

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
