    I have a fear of not being able to pay the bills and letting my wife down if I am honest.

    I also suffer from building to many tech demo’s to prove my ideas work. I fall down because I don’t do anything with these demos, I have to wonder if this fear stops me from taking the ideas further.

    I’ve heard this being said before, the fear of failure.

    Personally, having run my own music business for over 10 years and now trying my hand in a different field, I suffer from the opposite.

    I have a fear of success, I’m renowned for it 😉
