Do You Fear Blogging Success Deep Down?

Fearing blogging success deep down tends to make for a confusing blogging experience.

Bloggers claim to want to succeed. But in the next breath, the same bloggers self-sabotage, doing things guaranteeing their blogging failure. Why? Self-sabotage often unfolds because bloggers secretly fear success and want nothing to do with blogging success. Why would bloggers fear success? For one, bloggers fear taking on greater responsibility. I feared doing more things moons ago. I claimed to crave success. But I feared giving up mucho hours to work for free.

Sure enough, I struggled to succeed because I feared the life unfolding for me as I became more successful. I also feared being rejected by my family on some level. I knew my family would love me no matter what, but also figured I may be the object of good-natured ribbing if I became a pro blogger.

On a deeper level, I thought family and friends may lose resonance with me because most fam and friends work 9-5 jobs. Talking about pro blogging and working a job does not seem resonant, per se. I knew we would vibe outside of blogging but still felt uncomfortable discussing varied perspectives.

Everything unfolded quite nicely for me. But I had to wade through deep success fears in order to be the blogger I am today. Other bloggers have a deep fear of success without being aware of the fear. Bloggers tend to be raised with a whole host of limiting beliefs. The fear of increased responsibility pervades most blogger’s minds because most folks grow up working jobs, or, get raised by someone who worked jobs their entire lives.

Think about it; you and I usually see someone work a job mainly for fun. Little thought of fun, joy or freedom comes into the equation. How will you feel working for FREE for many 100s to 1000s of hours before you begin earning even a few cents? Most bloggers have no interest in owning that type of responsibility; why in the heck would you work for free? Show me the money!

Most folks want to get paid for every moment worked. Blogging is a full 180. Bloggers take on the increased responsibility of a millionaire well-before earning a dime. Such a journey scares folks away from succeeding. Who in the heck works for free for a long time before earning any dough? Who in the heck works for years until going pro?

Pro bloggers, that’s who. Or, aspiring pro bloggers work for free or less than a full time income for a long time before going pro. But most folks fear taking on excess – or even great – responsibility without making money in so doing. You better face, feel and release this fear if you ever hope to become a successful blogger. You better hug all fears related to becoming a successful blogger if you intend to become a pro blogger.

Do not sell out by taking blogging shortcuts; buy my eBook to never sell your soul in the online business realm. I had to face, feel and release success-induced fears to let go any urge to take shortcuts, or to get rich quickly. You will need to do the same if you crave the insanity of trying to experience overnight success, versus taking on increased responsibility to blog the right way. Ditto with your fears of criticism.

Get over the fear of being rejected by people when you become more successful. True; some folks lose resonance with you as you succeed because you no longer find resonance. Such is life. But you will befriend new, resonant people who live from higher energies of love, abundance, generosity, trust and success.
