Well, from what I have been reading so far, it seems my trouble is fear. Fear is the only thing you really have to be afraid of. It stops you from doing what you want to do and that in itself is paralysing and then you would look back and wonder what if.....
I think by starting this blog i have overcome part of my fear at least of going out on a limb.
How do you decide what you really want to do with your life. It's difficult when you come at a crossroads like this and you start questioning things that you do and have taken for granted.
I think I will start at the beginning. I know i want to be financially independent and find ways of investing and being resourceful in a way where i am not entirely dependent on a job where i am employed by another. This will take some doing but that is my goal and I will get there.

I am afraid too. Right now I want to leave my job and start my own business but I am not sure if I can survive on less income (seeing as how I have so many financial obligations)and worse yet if my business fails.
ReplyDeleteBut I have reached the stage in my life where working for other people isn't satisfying anymore. It hurts my spirit to go do a job that isn't rewarding my desire to achieve. I feel capable of accomplishing much more than I am given.
In the end I have to be true to myself and let go of the comfort zone I find myself in. I have to take the fear I am feeling and let it motivate me into changing my circumstances. I ask myself, why am I fearful? Mostly, it's because there are so many unknowns when it comes to starting your own business. The answer therefore is to really find out all there is to know about starting your own business. It may seem like alot but when you consider the alternative - staying where you are, you get motivated.
One of my first tasks is to formulate an action plan where I outline all the steps necessary to accomplish my goal.
My second task is to find a mentor. An entrepreneur that has done something similar that can guide me along my journey and who I can learn from.
Then I can order the fear to dissipate.
