“If you can conceive something in your mind and believe it to be true, then you can achieve it.” ~ Napoleon Hill. This quote is from Napoleon Hill’s incredible book, “Think and Grow Rich,” and has had a meaningful impact on my journey to success.
Let us be honest for a moment. Why do so many of us find it so challenging to chase after our wildest dreams? Ding, ding – fear is the culprit. Fear is a sneaky little fiend that loves to hold us back from reaching our full potential.
In this blog, I will walk you through Hill’s philosophy on fear and share tips on overcoming fear to achieve your dreams. According to Hill, fear takes on six different forms: poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of love, old age, and death. Man, that is a heavy load!
These fears have a cunning way of tricking us into doubting ourselves and paralyzing our actions. However, by recognizing and confronting each fear head-on, we can smash through those barriers and embrace success with open arms.
Can we talk about poverty for a second? It is a fear that so many of us battle with. We are haunted by thoughts of never having enough money or resources to make our dreams a reality.
But here is the thing – we must flip that script from scarcity to abundance. Instead of obsessing over what we do not have, let us focus on what we do and get super creative. Taking small steps towards financial independence can build unstoppable momentum for reaching our goals.
Oh, and let us not forget about criticism. It is like a relentless ghost that whispers in our ears, filling our heads with self-doubt and worry about what others might say.
The secret is to seek the positive daily, keep ourselves attuned to high positive frequencies, and surround ourselves with a tribe of supportive individuals who lift us and keep our eyes on the prize – our vision and purpose.
Now, let us tackle the big ones: ill health, loss of love, old age, and death. Yes, yes, I know – they are heavy topics. But here is the deal! We may not control these fears, but we may well control how we respond to them.
By prioritizing our physical and emotional well-being, nurturing solid and meaningful relationships, and living each day with intention, we can find true happiness and fulfillment no matter what curveballs life throws.
So, in conclusion, fear can be our evil enemy or super-duper motivator. It is our choice entirely. We can crush and conquer success by acknowledging and confronting our fears head-on. Whether financial freedom, career triumphs, or personal fulfillment, we can create the life we have always dreamt about.
Like Napoleon Hill wisely said, “If you can conceive something in your mind and believe it to be true, then you can achieve it.” ~ Napoleon Hill
So, let us believe in ourselves and our vision and take those incredible leaps forward.

Thank you for your kind words and yes I have faced many critical and fearful times times as we all have, one in particular was recently ! I closed my company of 20 years at the end of the 2020. I started a new company Attract Success LLC. I felt the fear of stepping from a company that I was comfortable overseeing to a new venture . This new company was also totally different from my former one ! But I faced the fears and began my new company and love the new skills that I have learned and still learning!
