Great post Parlay.
Neil I think I know what you mean. For me at least I think it stems from something similar to what moma said. After you get success what then? Once you've completed your goals you have nothing more to accomplish. Maybe its a fear of not having anything to do which somehow relates to the fear of extinction ie. once you're done all there is left to do is die. Fear of ego-death could explain it if you don't want to be successful because you fear you may fail at one point or another
