107. How to stop that fear of success sneaking in

How to stop that fear of success sneaking in   Today we are revisiting a previous quick win episode where we look at breaking down the habits that keep our fears strong - with particular attention to the fear of success which we all should know by now is a very real thing.  It's often one of those fears that is not talked about as much yet can be a big barrier for so many women with their career progression and saying yes to new opportunities.  We convince ourselves of all sorts of reasons why we can't do something even though we know 100% we are absolutely capable.     So listen in and make sure that when you are thinking about the success you can have and your potential, you are not worrying about what happens when you achieve that success.  And I also wanted to take this opportunity to mention that this weekend I will be running the Manchester Marathon which has been on my go to do in my lifetime list and I can't believe it is here.  And with all the press coverage and talk about how women are blamed as victims recently then I had to mention the amazing charity I am running for which is Women's Aid and all the incredible work they do to keep women and children safe from violence and abuse.   Enough is enough and if you are a supporter of this too then please head over to my Justgiving page and support both Women's Aid and me to make it to the finish line whilst raising important funds for this amazing charity.  And watch this space as I will be giving you the lowdown on how the marathon goes - after all it's a big challenge that requires a lot of digging deep and self belief which is exactly what we also need in terms of owning our expertise! Enjoy today's quick win episode and let me know when it inspires you to take action!   ......................................
