Even the most successful, driven experts can hit a wall—and often, it's not because of the wrong strategy or a missing skill. It’s the hidden fears that stall high achievers when they step into growth mode – and it can quietly sabotage their momentum.
In episode 446 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I unpack the most common fears I see show up for high-performing leaders, coaches, and changemakers as they expand their visibility, impact, and revenue.
These aren’t surface-level fears that you commonly recognize - they’re often disguised as a belief you just aren’t ready, or a simple desire to appeal to more people.
