You're Afraid of Success. It's a Thing and Here's What to Do
You’re afraid of success.
I know! What?? It sounds insane! The whole reason you get up at 4 AM and drink your bulletproof coffee or kale smoothie is to strive towards success, right?
(By the way, if you think a 4 AM alarm is crucial to success, we need to talk. Text me at 561-473-3318 and yes, it’s really me on the other end of the line!)
Wouldn’t you argue the only reason you do anything is to be successful? So why would you strive to be successful... if you’re afraid of success?
Why is Success Scary?
Because of our ass-backwards understanding of what success means for our lives and happiness, 99% of people are scared of the very things they want.
Why? What would make us so afraid?
What IS the Fear of Success?
The fear of success is tied to a deeply held but seldom discussed belief: that it’s not safe to be happy.
Let me explain: you fear success because success means having it all — in your career, love life,...
Youโre Ignoring the Most Dangerous Addiction of All
What’s the first thing you feel when you wake up?
Worry? Anxiety? Resentment? It happens so fast it’s like you have no choice in the matter.
What if I told you these uncomfortable feelings (and all uncomfortable feelings) are addictions that you can let go and have a joyful life of waking up stress-free?
You don’t know you’re addicted
My favorite definition of addiction is this:
“Continued use despite adverse consequences.” — Judson Brewer, M.D., Ph.D
Be honest: you continue to allow and affirm disempowering emotions despite adverse consequences, don’t you?
Not only disempowering emotions that make YOU feel bad, but emotions that make you bite your kids’ heads off, distance yourself from your partner, and judge yourself and everyone else constantly, and make you unapproachable. It feels like garbage, and yet… you continue to do it.
You might be thinking, “sure, Tracy, but I can CHOOSE not to eat...
Why Women Underinvest in their Most Valuable Asset
Here’s the truth: too few women don't invest money in themselves.
I’m not talking about spending on a Louis Vuitton handbag. I’m talking about investing money in things that will make you better, happier, and more connected with yourself.
We will invest in everything else — our kids, the stock market, real estate, a friend’s business, art — before we invest money in ourselves.
It’s insane. And it stops now.
THIS is the Safest, Surest Investment You’ll Make
There’s a new paradigm to invest your money: in YOU.
Investing is expending money with the expectation of receiving more in return. You’re either growing or you’re dying, and the only actual asset you have is yourself. So what could possibly guarantee you greater ROI than investing in YOU?
“That woman… no longer exists.”
What happens when you invest in yourself is you step into the abundant being you are. Investing in...
How to Never Let Outside Circumstances Dictate How You Feel
You have the power to stay centered, emotionally secure, and make powerful progress during any situation in your life.
This is the truth: the power of how to respond to what you experience is in your hands.
Well actually... it’s in your mind.
It’s the inner mindset work I call Mind Magic™, and I will show three steps for how to start using it today. Because we, as individuals and a community, must work on this right now.
This global pandemic we’re experiencing is like a personal growth retreat none of us asked for. Nonetheless it is happening, and you’re not alone if you’ve felt your confidence falter. In fact, 53% of respondents rated the impact of the COVID-19 on their anxiety and stress levels as moderate to severe.
This hurts my heart, because I know it does not have to be this way.
From Anxious to Entrepreneurial
My client Danielle is gorgeous proof that you can choose how to respond to what’s happening...
Got Conviction? The #1 Quality Fierce Women Leaders Need Above All Else
I am taken aback by the mindset of lack and scarcity I see from powerful women entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries right now. I’m seeing a lot of women fall into a simple but profound mindset trap that blocks the #1 quality leaders need most: conviction. Conviction is what makes the difference between the leaders who make their impact and move their missions forward, and those who do not. And it is our responsibility and privilege to protect and nurture our conviction.
The Mindset Trap Stealing Your Conviction
This is the mindset trap I see countless women leaders fall into: you believe something is going to happen outside you that will interfere with your current success, happiness, and contentment. It’s an external variable dependency — you depend on external variables for your internal wellbeing — and it poisons your success, growth, impact and happiness.
This mindset trap blocks you from feeling happy and from expressing the truth of how...
