I think what he means is we're afraid to get our name out there i.e. If you do too much, people will expect a lot from you, but if you don't do enough, people will think of you as self-centered and lazy. This is what we all fear in one way or another.
I fear success, what happens if I get successfull? How will my freinds react? Will I be able to sustain the success once I get it? Will it be what I want after all that effort. They are all fears and about success. This is a good video overall.
How can you fear success, when you have succeeded so many times in your life? You have experienced success in many of the following areas: Learing to walk, learning to talk, learning to ride a bike, learning to read, learning to write, graduating each grade in school, learning to drive a car, getting a job, etc. The list goes on and on, but believe me, we are all successful and if you feared success, you wouldn't have it. What did your friends think of each of the achievements you made above?

seems like you have some inner conflict with yourself... seems like you are afraid of what people think and you lack character and individuality... is that why you have the word freedom in your name? On the internet where noone can see you has allowed you to pick a handle that expresses your personality,thoughts and self image, you wish everyday for freedom but your really a chicken and a nobody.most people in the us fear freedom, thats why everyone is a conformist and crucifies the individual

I don't believe that fear of success exists, a lot of these terms like procrastination are made up by psychologists who have nothing better to do with their time.
In order to be successful, they need to change their mindset and that's what made them afraid. TO CHANGE is to get out of their comfort zone and do something else that they are accustomed to.
Key one is to start focusing on the important stuff and let go of the rest, and as others have said don't worry about everything being perfect - esp in internet marketing with all the tools to test and modify as you go along. Just keep taking small actions every day and it does get easier!
I've been thinking that "lack of focus" is a trained practice (we like to call it "multi-tasking".) We (I) need to retrain ourselves (myself) to "decide to proceed with focus". Great Tips / reminders!
Thanks Karl - Good advice - especially the bit about focussing on What's Important and then Just Do It... In this business (Internet Marketing) it's easy getting bogged down with the technical stuff as an excuse for not getting on with selling stuff.
Being a perfectionist is also a problem - 80%+ is usually good enough - you can always improve later if it warrants it...
Maybe not a tip but the most important statement is... "If Not Now, When"... You will be always able to find an excuse to put it off to another time, so why not just do it now.
Thanks for the tips on how not to put off my success. I am not a procrastinator, but I can use your tip about putting aside tasks that are not relevant at this time to my Internet Success, to make the most of my precious free time. Well done.
If I can get in a couple of hours of work a day with 5 little people under age 7...then most anyone can. My trick...no TV, avoid email, get up an hour earlier and go to bed an hour earlier. Any other WAHMs....good luck :)
Hey to all, like I keep saying and Karl is sharing with us with regard to Procrastination, "Just Do It!" and so we begin and you should as well, THE Thirty Day Challenge, it is free and amazing info, both business, techie and bottom line, at the end an online business beginning, so again, JUST DO IT! hugs
Thanks Karl, as an expert procrastinator this video was extremely helpful! But I'm kinda busy checking email right now so I'll get to your main points later...
Great video! I have to say you got charisma! =D
