What does Buddhism teach about fear of success?
score:2
Theravada Buddhist answer, based in the Burmese Method.
It is still just fear, no matter what context it is experienced in.
It's an impersonal phenomena that arise and cease on its own accord, without it being amenable to ones will.
It should be observed and noted, in order to learn about the phenomena, i.e. to see its characteristics of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness and uncontrollability.
When one truly sees that feelings and emotions cannot be controlled, one begins to let go of them. They are just processes. There is no experiencing entity behind the phenomena.
One comes to see that its not really the fear that is the "problem". Its ones own aversion to that fear.

here Dhammapada comes to mind, from chapter 16 Piyavagga
Seek no intimacy with the beloved and also not with the unloved, for not to see the beloved and to see the unloved, both are painful.
Therefore hold nothing dear, for separation from the dear is painful. There are no bonds for those who have nothing beloved or unloved.
From attachment springs grief, from attachment springs fear. From him who is wholly free from attachment there is no grief, whence then fear?
From craving springs grief, from craving springs fear. From him who is wholly free from craving there is no grief; whence then fear?

It can be of course used for worldly purposes, but actually it not meant for such, its not meant to be a winner of others in the world, but to win something beyond that, Mr. Dmitri Pisarenko.

Dmitri congrats. I would have thought you were the reason why Buddha spoke of this sutta. shop-keeper.
Buddha pointed out 3 key factors to be a successful businessman,
- good vision
- good management
- good benefactors (merchant with good vision and management attracts investors who would love to invest money with him.)
Second half of sutta, Buddha used those 3 factors that you can probably related to very well, with dharma or mental development.
