Overcoming Fear of Success as an Entrepreneur with Giorgia G

03/21/24 • 44 min

Finding that you’re busy all day, every day, but don’t really seem to be getting anything important done or hitting your goals yet? Well, there’s a chance you could actually be self-sabotaging. Today’s podcast guest realized she had an underlying fear of success which meant she spent all day caught up in the busywork and never tackling the things that would help her grow. After working through a plan she created to approach this belief, she doubled her revenue in three months. That guest is Giorgia G, a transformational coach, leadership trainer, podcaster, and author. 8 years ago, she packed all her belongings in a tiny pink trolley, booked a one way ticket to London, and off she went to build her coaching business. Since then, she went on to work with 100+ 6- and 7-figure entrepreneurs, business leaders, CEOs, and even award-winning comedians to help them reach their next level of success, double their income, and sell out their programmes - without hustling.

In this episode, we’ll dive into:

Why being afraid of not fitting in with others holds us back
The reason negative comments affect us much more than positive ones
Acknowledging what you’re avoiding and why you need to face it
How to celebrate your wins to encourage a positive mindset
