Default Re: Why do people have a fear of success?

Dien -

Glad I could stir your "little grey cells" as Poirot would say :-)

I understand your dilemma as I've played on both sandboxes - big business as a corporate officer and small business as my own little company of one.

I enjoy writing on the larger stage of big business, but despise the requisite bureaucracy that accompanies it. I also enjoy the relative freedom of being a virtual consultant, with lots of interesting jobs, but relative freedom from supervision and restraint (except those of the clients which I rationalize as part of doing business!).

In my humble opinion, you should make SOWPUB as large as you feel comfortable, and then extend by 50% more. Stretch your dreams and actions to see if you fit a larger stage. If not, at least you've tried it on. If so, then you've not limited yourself.

BTW, these words apply to me and my ventures too, so thanks for the reflection in the mirror.

Take care, Bob
