Are you finding that no matter how hard you try, you are not reaching your goals? Are you ready to enjoy a loving relationship, a successful career, a healthy and trim body, and prosperity?

Then close your eyes and imagine that you are in a beautiful air balloon ready to take off, to have what you want in your life. Now look towards the ground and notice if there are any ropes holding you down, stopping you from being free to fly. In order to move on in your life, it is necessary to cut those ropes--to overcome not your fears of failure but your fears of success.

You may be as surprised as I was when I first discovered the fear of success. It seems illogical to push away the very things we desire. However, my very first client opened my eyes to this fascinating phenomenon. In her counseling session, Betty told me that she desperately wanted her boyfriend to ask her to marry him. I have a favorite saying, "Close your eyes and see clearly". So I said, "Betty, close your eyes and imagine that your boyfriend is proposing. How do you feel?" Betty replied, "Terrified!" There it was-- the first of many of my clues of the insidious fear of success.

John wanted to become president of his company. But he felt scared when he visualized himself in that position. John was unaware that unconsciously he was afraid of the responsibility that comes with that role. The part of John that was afraid was sabotaging him from moving on in his career.

After working with many clients, I am convinced that we are very powerful. I never had to assist people to become successful. All I needed to do was to help them with a unique process I developed, HART: Holistic And Rapid Transformation, to be aware of and overcome their unconscious fears, and then they effortlessly fulfilled their dreams. When I assisted them to cut the ropes that were tying them down, they suddenly met their perfect mate, or were offered the job or promotion they were seeking. For the first time in their lives, they found losing weight to be effortless. They healed their bodies, and allowed themselves to receive the money they needed. They were able to let go of their addictions and take control of their lives.

We are unique, but our problems are not. See if you recognize any of your fears, your blocks to success, so that you can overcome them and experience the exhilaration of flying free in your air balloon.

The "SEVEN FEARS OF SUCCESS" are:

1. Fear of the unknown. "I don't know what it would be like to be in a loving relationship or successful career."

2. Fear that success doesn't fit your self image. "What's a poor girl from Brooklyn doing in an exclusive social club in California?"

3. Fear that people will not like you if you are successful. "If I'm successful in my career, no man will want me."

4. Fear that you don't deserve success. "I feel guilty because I once stole money from my parents."

5. Fear that success has a scary consequence."If I get the promotion, I won't have enough time to spend with my family."
