I ve had that happen with a offline business when I doubled my customer base overnight. Life became hell. With an online business, however, its much easier to put the tools in place first and go out sourcing as soon as the business takes off. So don't be afraid of succeeding big time.

I don't consider them as fear of success. I think they are my laziness, inertia, personal weakness, etc. Whatever the reason, I need to get off my butt and change that:-) I do 2-3 of them.

They don't want to upset someone by writing a controversial blog post, sending out edgy marketing, or simply deviating from the status quo. To be truly successful, you have to stop standing in the shadows and start creating your own shadow. John, I think a lot of people (many of my clients included) are afraid of criticism.

I have experienced this in my own business development. I think most people are afraid that if their business grows, they may not be able to keep up! I've been using John Assaraf's kit Having It All to firm up my goals, and successfully achieve them. Here's the website: www.johnassaraf.com/hia. Let me know what you think!

It's tough to keep on going. Even right now I see myself not being as satisfied because of the amount of people who view my blog. 6months ago I would be thrilled with how many new people are seeing it. Everything is about consistency and time. I know I'll make it someday and if I think about I know I'm on the right path. So why the hell am I complaining!

In fact, I embraced something new just today: Odiogo - a technology that allows people to subscribe to my blog feed and listen to the posts...it is so cool! It's still a bit robotic sounding but the benefits of being able to offer a way for people to listen to a blog post when they might not have time or ability to read it is awesome. Kind of turns every blog post into a podcast. Definitely “exploring new technologies” has been my stumbling block and it is one that I’m determined to squeeze the fear out of.
