Deep dives
Sign #1: Opportunity Ignored
One sign that anxiety is hindering your earning potential is when you pass up chances for advancement or leadership roles due to doubt and fear. These opportunities may come in the form of advancements, applications, or offers, but anxiety holds you back from embracing them.
Sign #2: Lack of Confidence in Visibility
Another sign is lacking confidence to put yourself out there and be seen. This may manifest as avoiding building beneficial relationships or networking due to social anxiety or feeling inadequate. Fear of being seen and the potential expectations and opportunities it brings can cause you to hide and play it safe.
Sign #3: Fear of Failure or Success
Fear of failure and fear of success are two different things that can hinder earning potential. Fear of failure involves worries of embarrassment and humiliation, while fear of success stems from concerns of increased responsibilities or negative consequences. These fears create anxiety and prevent you from taking necessary risks.
Sign #4: Rationalizations for Stagnation
Making excuses and rationalizations to stay at your current level of success is a sign of anxiety hindering growth. Accepting mediocrity, proclaiming satisfaction, or feeling apathetic about taking on challenges or seeking improvement are subtle ways anxiety prevents progress.
Sign #5: Imposter Syndrome
Feeling like an imposter, despite recognition from others, is a sign of anxiety affecting your earning potential. Imposter syndrome involves the fear of being exposed as a fraud, even when others view you as competent. This anxiety can limit you from reaching for higher levels of success.
Conclusion
Recognizing and addressing anxiety is essential for unlocking your earning potential and achieving professional success. By confronting fears, building confidence, and challenging self-limiting beliefs, you can break free from the grip of anxiety and pursue greater opportunities.
Social anxiety, fear of public speaking, panic attacks, driving anxiety, phobias, etc. can have a huge negative impact on our lives, of course.
But the biggest impact that people feel from having anxiety is the impact it has on their careers and earning potential. It’s frustrating to know that you could doing better but you have a sense that you are holding yourself back. And the reason you are holding yourself back is almost always fear and anxiety.
