In Part 4, we uncovered the first five Anti-Entrepreneurs and their visibility blocks - the patterns that dull your fire, silence your truth, and shrink your impact.
But the work isn’t done yet. Because fear doesn’t just freeze you at the starting line - it also drives you into survival mode.
These final four archetypes are the ones that keep you hustling, clinging, and running on fumes, even when your rebel heart knows you’re here to disrupt, create, and change the game.
Remember - They’re not who you are. They’re who you learned to be in order to stay safe, to be loved, to meet someone else’s definition of success, or to follow the “done way” of life and business.
Let’s meet the survival crew.
Wannapreneur™ (The Muted Muse)
Core fear: Fear of Being Seen “If I speak my truth, and show my depth, I’ll be too much.”
How it shows up in visibility: Shares the tidy, “safe”, palatable emotions - hides her grief, rage, or wild joy. Talks about her work, and says she “wants it” but hesitates to walk the talk and embody her full-spectrum gifts fully.
Cost: Visibility stays muted. Audience senses more under the surface, but never gets to feel it. The holding back feels like dissonance, so eventually they lose connection + engagement - maybe even trust.
Wannapreneur™ Symptoms
- “Every time i try to show up, i second-guess if i’m ‘too much.’”
- “My feelings are all over the place - no one wants to hear this.”
- “i start strong, then ghost because it feels safer to hide.”
- “What if i upset people or push them away by being real?”
Clingpreneur™ (The Control Freak)
Core fear: Fear of Letting Go “Change equals chaos, it’s safer to hold on and lock it down”
How it shows up in visibility: Keeps clients, offers, or programs alive long after their spark. Recycles old content instead of creating fresh. Refuses endings, resists the cycle of evolution in business and life.
Cost: Visibility juice drains into control + safety seeking. Nothing new has space to breathe so business feels stagnant and stale.
Clingpreneur™ Symptoms
- “If I follow my intuition and it doesn’t work, I’ll feel like a fool.”
- “Better the devil I know than the risk of something new.”
- “I’ve invested too much in this path to walk away now.”
- “It’s safer to overplan, over-control, micro-manage”
Overpreneur™ (The Obligated Overgiver)
Core fear: Fear of Not Enough - “It’s unsafe to rest or relax, gotta grind, gotta push.”
How it shows up in visibility: Afraid that if she stops, she’ll lose everything. so she keeps going driven by not being enough. Overdelvers, undercharges, in danger of tipping into codependency with clients.
Cost: Visibility feels heavy, drained, unsustainable - either all in during flow or ghost mode when she’s hit the wall. Audience viscerally feels her depletion, so she doesn’t feel like a safe guide.
Overpreneur™ Symptoms
- “I’ll just throw in one more bonus.”
- Running herself ragged with endless calls and support - sense of obligation exhausting her, and can cause burnout.
- Charging low prices, stacking deliverables sky-high.
- Overworking, over-delivering, over-doing it… never letting up.
Lackpreneur™ (The Adrenaline Addict)
Core fear: Fear of Not Being Able to Survive “If I stop moving, everything will collapse.”
How it shows up in visibility: Crisis posting, last-minute launches, frantic visibility bursts. Adrenaline drives her presence.
Cost: Audience feels panic, not power. Her grippy, graspy energy repels instead of attracts.
Lackpreneur™ Symptoms
- Running on empty: driven by a sense there’s never enough having enough – money, time, worthiness, safety.
- “I just need to push this one last time, so I can cover the bills this month.”
- Selling from urgency, slashing prices, overbooking.
- Living in a cycle of stress, scarcity, and constant pressure - rest feels dangerous.
These visibility block archetypes aren’t proof that you’re broken.
They’re proof of how brilliantly you adapted to a world that told you to dim your light and tame your voice.
But let’s be clear: you are not here to NOT deliver your medicine.
Your people don’t need a half-polished, palatable version of you. They need the whole you - regulated, resourced, unapologetic.
This isn’t about those cringeworthy calls to “play bigger” or “go all in” from the coaches coaching coaches to coach coaches shaming squad.
It’s about the lives your work will touch when you learn to shift from fear running the show.
Healing these patterns isn’t quick, and it isn’t something you do alone.
You rupture in relationship, and you also heal in relationship.
With the right tools, the right community, and the right support, the right safe + sacred space, you can slowly recalibrate your set point until your nervous system learns: it is safe to be seen, safe to be heard, safe to be richly rewarded just for being you.
That’s how you build a business that is not just paradigm-shifting, but soul-sustaining.
So here’s the bigger truth: fear is not the enemy.
Fear is the breadcrumb trail.
