Final Summary
You’ve seen what constitutes a Nice Guy and how childhood experiences can create Nice Guy Syndrome. You’ve also discovered what you can do to recover from this.
But now, there are two final questions you should ask yourself about your life: Is the life you’re creating the one you want? And if the answer to that is no, why not?
The most probable answer to that second question is that fear is getting in the way. Most Nice Guys are controlled by their fear. It’s fear that stops you from asking for the raise you deserve. It’s fear that stops you from continuing your education. It’s fear that stops you from setting up your own business. It’s fear that stops you from living where you want to live. And above all, it’s fear that makes you afraid of your own success.
So stop settling for your current reality and face your fears head-on. Chart your own life and take responsibility for getting what you want. Visualize it. Work at it. And make your dream your reality.

So what can you do to reclaim that personal power? Here are six things you can start today:
First, surrender. Let go of the things you can’t control personally.
