I’m always surprised at how many writers fear success. Fearing failure is understandable in most cases, but a fear of SUCCESS – surely not!

The fact is, our brains have been conditioned from the moment we popped out of our mother’s womb. All our current beliefs stem from what our parents told us, thoughts of teachers / peers, and messages absorbed via the media.

Unfortunately many writers are afraid of success simply because they aren’t used to it! Perhaps they hold the negative belief that money (which often accompanies success) is something evil and that the rich are bad people. Or maybe they think that with success comes jealous friends and family and the feeling of separation and loneliness.

So what do these writers do? They subconsiously steer clear of success. Perhaps with the conscious mind they want success more than anything, but given the fact that 95 per cent of our minds function via our subconscious, it’s what goes on back there that really matters.

There are many methods of beating these limiting beliefs by drumming into our subconscious minds what we really want; whether that be an internationally best-selling book, a six figure book deal, or simply signing your published work at the local book store.

I’ll share a scattering of these methods with you soon, but for now take a look within and try to identify whether maybe, just maybe, you are one of those writers who fear success as much as you fear failure. Rememeber, every coin has two sides, as does every human emotion…
