How do I help someone overcome their fear of failure when they are too impatient to overcome it? For example, someone wants to sing but is afraid they can't learn to sing well and they are too impatient to work the long months it will take to improve their singing. If they can't see results right away, they give up.

Maybe there is not so much fear, or lack of patience when it comes to this point of analysis. For if the thrust of understanding of these points you have made and wish to help with, is made clear to an individual, as to the successes in his/her endeavors, and he/she is aware, and intelligent enough to see that your salient points may be true and helpful in his/her cause, but still does not enjoin in your guidance towards the intended result, the true culprit to this persons not following through with this guidance, or discipline to reach said goals, is his/her lack of desire to do such. Desire.

Give 'em a string of small goals that ends up as a larger goal.
That way they will feel accomplishment at each small goal.

You can't. This "someone" is immature. Only a 6 year old pouts that I want "x" and I want it NOW.
