| 0:00.0 | Good morning. Welcome to Your World Within Daily. I'm Eddie Panero, and in this episode, we're going to talk about the fear of success? |
| 0:29.9 | I'm going to start this episode off with the question from Daniela, |
| 0:34.2 | who is, one, a longtime listener of Your World Within on Spotify, YouTube, and now the podcast, |
| 0:40.4 | but she's also taken herself through a transformation, a fitness transformation, incredibly |
| 0:45.2 | inspiring every single day, you know, working out and changing her mind, her body, and doing |
| 0:53.4 | incredible things. She says, hey, Eddie, I was listening to your |
| 0:55.9 | world within daily, and I have a suggestion for a podcast topic. You have or may not have |
| 1:02.6 | struggled with this, but currently I am, how do you deal with the fear of success? Every time |
| 1:08.4 | I take strides in my business, I freak out inside. Probably fear, doubt. |
| 1:13.8 | I had someone contact me to be on their podcast, and I think it's awesome, but I'm currently |
| 1:17.2 | screaming inside. Very interesting question because you hear people talk about the fear of failure |

| 1:30.9 | I did a little bit of research, just some basic Googling, looked at some psychology blogs, |

| 1:39.6 | fear of failure versus fear of success. But there's enough overlap where I almost felt like why |
| 1:45.2 | make the simple complex. In my mind, it is the same idea of our comfort zone, you know, |
| 1:56.0 | like wanting to be in that safe place. Fear of failure, maybe we look at it as short term, right? |
| 2:02.6 | I don't want to lose. I don't want to fall on my face. Whereas, you know, fear of success may be |
| 2:08.1 | longer term, right? It's uncharted territory. It's unknown. And you know how that sort of, you know, |
| 2:16.6 | vulnerability that wasn't there. Right now, there's |
| 2:18.7 | eyeballs on you. But fear is fear, is fear is fear. You know, at the foundation is the same |
| 2:25.9 | thing. It's looking at what can go wrong instead of what can go right. So Daniela gave an example of a new podcast she's going to be on. |
