It's because I worry if I get more successful, I'll stand out more and I'm afraid to be perceived as "more important" than other people.

I realized I'm actively fighting success. Isn't that a strange thought? Once I wrote that down and realized it was absolutely true I thought for a minute I was insane, and the next minute I was slightly scared at just how much I could achieve if those fears were gone.

Awareness is everything though, making this realization is where things start getting better in my experience.

It is so strange indeed, and yet this is the main joy of venturing out in a business, it facilitates so much self discovery. It is really like waking-up.
