Fear of success


Hi Brooke, I have recently realised that I’m afraid of success even more than failure. Out of college I had a successful corporate job. Then I set up a new division in a new country. Then I ran my own business. In each of these roles the pattern was the same – I overdelivered and pleased my clients, was outwardly successful, but privately stretched, miserable and exhausted. My personal life and health collapsed. I took a career break which was a huge relief. Now I want to explore working again but I fear repeating the same pattern. How can I work through these fears and go back to work differently?
