Fear can influence your behavior; especially when it comes to success in network marketing. Most of the fear is manifested in the issues of your self-esteem.

A fear of failure can cause procrastination and inaction which essentially equates to how successful one can be professionally and personally.

Fear of failure is one of the strongest fears that plagues us. This fear keeps us from accomplishing our dreams, improving our lives, and rising above mediocrity. It stops us from taking risks, experimenting, making choices, changing for the better, exploring new avenues, and even making new friends.

The way to combat fear is to change our self talk and replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts. A person can even change the frequency they are around negative people. Replace them with more positive friends and family members. Sometimes, these people just feed your self doubt and fear.

Instead, focus on success, positive self talk and taking action. Make positive outcomes a goal and try keeping a written record of your accomplishments.

...spot on, just wanted to add: hang around like-minded people! They are more likely to support you or at least not pull you back and try to talk you out of it.

Your absolutely spot on guys,I'm currently reading 'Think & Grow Rich' by Napoleon Hill at the moment and it's the best thing I have ever read,it's all about mindset, and puting your goals down on paper and looking at these goals when you get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night.
Also watched the movie 'The Secret' last night too which is pretty much about these principals, but well worth watching if you have not already seen it.

Good talk guys.

Napolean has some great material. Although even after following his steps I dont have my million dollars yet

I think that one of his most important ideas, is that of the mastermind alliance. I suppose its a lot like an internet forum, in a way..

This article made me think. I seem to always find a way to sabotage myself right when I'm on the brink of success, and I believe fear plays a large part of that.

It's your mindset Calpso not your fear of success.

You need to condition your mind for your success,after all unless you were born into a very wealthy,successful family this is very foreign to you,hence you will always be apprehensive and doubtful about your chances of success.

You need to change they way you think and have thought since you were brought into this world,it takes time but it can be done,keep positive think positive,stay focused and don't allow yourself to be distracted by your peers.

This is the very reason a lot of people such as actors,muso's etc get themselves in trouble they think that because all of a sudden they have a heap of money all the troubles that they have are all going to disappear,well you know the old saying about money buying happiness.

I think the fear that hold most people back is stepping out of their comfort zones and not wanting to let go of their current lifestyle and habits.

Some people are just too scared to pull the trigger and opt for the safety and security of a regular job and lifestyle, because it seems to work for everyone else.

Personally, I've stepped out of my comfort zone numerous times over the past few years since starting in business. Each and every time has been a larger step and sometimes I have though to myself, what have I committed to and gotten myself into! However, once getting used to and accepting the decision and believing in it, that's when the real growth happens.

I suppose your personality comes into it a little too.
I am a natural gambler and am willing to take more risk (for more reward of course) than the more conservative player. If you just treat business as a game, just let it flow and take a risk or 2 (my opinion only). I would only suggest this once you have some experience in your chosen market though.

The first time you step out of your comfort zone it is hard, but it gets easier and easier with practice. Then when it becomes your new comfort zone, it's time to take the next step forward!

This is like reading about myself. I am always afraid about the "what if" questions. That and I am a terrible procrastinator. I am working on it though.
