My colleague, Success Coach Kate Beeders<\/strong> is a genius at helping people break through\"\" blocks\u2014something that can plague aspiring authors. If you\u2019ve read my posts from last year, you may have seen my interview with her on making money as an author<\/a>.\u00a0 Here, I interview Kate about the main fears that stop aspiring authors in their tracks\u2014even those who have already published.<\/p>\n

Lisa:<\/span><\/strong> Many people are stopped by fear of failure. How might you work with someone like that?<\/p>\n

Kate:<\/span><\/strong> I\u2019d like to break that down into 3 steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, it\u2019s important for a person to get clarity and understand why you\u2019re writing a book:\u00a0 To educate people? To grow your business? To get publicity? To share your story? Someone, like a coach, told you to do this?<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. The second step is to uncover what you\u2019re afraid could happen if you write your book.\u00a0 Sometimes people are very aware of their fears and sometimes we uncover such fears through our work together.\u00a0 These fears are typically from past experiences or things people are taught as children.\u00a0 These fears can often be so overpowering (especially on a subconscious level) that a person would rather stay in their comfort zone than risk trying something new and failing.\u00a0\u00a0Examples of some fears are: What if no one reads my book? What if my book isn\u2019t any good? What if people laugh at my book and me? I\u2019ve failed in the past and don\u2019t want to fail again<\/em><\/li>\n
  3. The third step would be to clear out these fears so the person is able to move forward and write their book.\u00a0 The technique that I am an expert in and that I highly recommend is called \u201ctapping.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Lisa:<\/span><\/strong> Many bestselling authors use tapping. I\u2019ve heard Jack Canfield recommend it. Can you explain tapping for those\u00a0 who are unfamiliar with it?<\/p>\n

    Kate:<\/span><\/strong> Tapping is a powerful technique where people “tap” on parts of their face and upper body with their finger tips while saying certain phrases that I give them.\u00a0 It sounds goofy, and having come from Corporate America, I definitely thought it looked silly, but I’ve never seen anything or heard of anything that gets the results that this technique does.\u00a0 Every time someone tries it and sees their changes, there’s another convert into the world of tapping.\u00a0 It\u2019s been used with hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to help them release all sorts of fears.\u00a0 This technique is able to work very quickly, powerfully and gently and get lasting results.\u00a0\u00a0 Once the fears are released, I help people replace those negative thoughts with positive ones, and my clients are quickly able to get into action and achieve the success they want.<\/p>\n

    Lisa:<\/span> <\/strong>Thanks for breaking that down into such a detailed answer. Kate, often, the same people who fear failure also fear success. How do you help people overcome that?<\/p>\n

    Kate:<\/span> <\/strong>It would be the same process as the fear of failure except that the fears would be different, such as:<\/p>\n
