How to Overcome Fear of Success as a Coach or Consultant

Carrying "I have a fear of success" around like a diagnosis? This episode is for the coach or consultant who knows the next move, keeps not making it, and is tired of an explanation that sounds self-aware and changes nothing.

Co-host Rebecca Kaufman puts Amanda in the hot seat on fear of success and what is really sitting underneath it. Amanda, founder of Clairvenu, started hearing the phrase from qualified coaches she was teaching to market and sell, and she has been asking questions about it ever since. She gets into the question that reveals what people are actually afraid of, the goalpost that keeps sliding because nobody defines it, and the trades that come with wanting something new.

In this episode, you will learn:

🦆 The Scrooge McDuck bucket test, and the self-trust question hiding underneath the fear

🥅 The sliding goalpost that shows up when nobody defines what success actually means

🙈 Avoidance with a palatable label, and the environment that breaks the pattern

🐻 A grizzly bear is fear, a deletable comment is discomfort, and the language swap that changes what you do next

💡 "You are not afraid of things you want," and the trade that turned in-person networking into a webinar business

🔥 The fear worth having: wasting your life force, and the reason nobody should do this alone
