Episode Synopsis

Lets us know your thoughts thru TEXT!Fear of Failure: Why It Shows Up When Goals Get RealFear of failure often emerges when our goals begin to take shape—when dreams start to feel attainable and the stakes suddenly become real. It disguises itself as certainty about worst-case outcomes and convinces us that hesitation equals safety. Yet moving forward isn’t about pretending the fear disappears; it’s about learning to act in spite of it.Fear is frequently a signal of incomplete knowledge, not a verdict on your potential. The antidote is a balance of curiosity and action—study enough to understand the landscape, then take small, consistent steps that build genuine confidence through experience.This conversation explores the quiet cost of playing it safe, the weight of future regret, and the subtle ways judgment—both our own and others’—can hold us back from meaningful work.For anyone who has felt caught between big ambitions and a relentless inner critic, this episode offers a path forward: gratitude to stay grounded, knowledge to gain clarity, and steady movement to create momentum. Standards rise, fear evolves, but the agreement remains the same—face it, learn from it, and use it.Tune in, take one deliberate action today, follow the show, share it with someone who could use the encouragement, and leave a review so others can discover these ideas.Enjoy, and as always, thank you for listeningThank You for listening ! follow us on Instagram. @compoundingdailypodcastMiguel:@m_sanchezvillafaneEmail: [email protected]
