On the path to career growth, we often encounter psychological barriers.

Fear is something that tries to protect us from possible mistakes, and to overcome it, it is important to understand what exactly you are afraid of.

Most often, people who are moving up the career ladder are afraid of loneliness. Lower-level employees are often friendly and on Fridays after work they go somewhere together to relax.

However, it is important to remember that those who have climbed the career ladder independently know the team very well from the inside. This means that you do not necessarily have to create a chasm between colleagues and it is better to make an effort to make everyone feel comfortable.

Also, many are afraid of responsibility, because the lower the position, the less likely it is that your mistake will affect something.

However, it is important to remember that the worst that your mistake can do is get you fired. It is unpleasant, but not the end of the world.

Therefore, if you are confident that you are capable of more than in your current position, it is worth trying.

There is also a fear of success. Many people fear envy from friends and acquaintances who may be less successful than you.

However, it is important to remember that this is your life and it is up to you to decide whether you want to be successful or please everyone and not stand out.
