Why do people have a fear of success?

The sweet taste of success!

I play racquetball hard not because I fear failure or losing... But because I enjoy winning!

Success has it's own sweet taste...

I have a Fear of Heights... But I climbed Devils Tower, a 700+ foot cooled core of an extinct volcano located in NE Wyoming. Our country's first National Monument.

Why did I climb it??? I didn't have to!!! Wasn't going to make or break me financially... I was scared to death of falling! My hands sweat typing this post thinking about it!

But I went and did it! And it was the mst exhilarating thing I've ever done! Now I lead climbs and once fell just a tad over 40 foot while climbing the Tower.

Fear of Failure may drive some... But I desire the taste of success... The thrill of a successful closing sale... The wonderment of what's behind the next door...

Fear of Failure or Fear of Success does not, cannot, live in my world. I have chosen to either do it or not. And make no excuses as to why.

I can't dunk a basketball yet I still play. I turned 40 yesterday and my girlfriend bought me rollerblades. I snowboard, rock climb, Mtn. Bike, compete in racquetball and I close sales.

Maybe fear of this or that, just isn't part of my chemistry. I do know I don't understand it.

Knock on the door or don't. If you're going to make sales a career than do everyhting you can to be the best at it you can be. Don't look for excuses or the "Whys".

In or out...

If someone plays 100% on the court I'll partner up with them regardless of how good or bad they are. If someone highly skilled isn't putting forth their best effort, I'll look for someone else.

Like I stated earlier... Maybe it was best to keep this one to myself!
