Fear of Success?

Thought I should share this quick story. I’ll write a longer post on this soon.

Met a man yesterday who had had some challenges but had begun to overcome them. He almost had everything in place to really become successful. I asked him what was holding him back. He said “fear of success” – really a fear of what other people would think if he were successful.

I told him that it sounds like he needs to change his definition of success and may change the people around him. Old saying – “How can soar like an eagle when I work with a bunch of turkeys?

Any relevant thoughts and comments are welcome.
