Striking out on your own can be terrifying. There are particular advantages of having a "job." Those include regular and predictable revenue.
But being a businessman can be a massive lure for some people that need more out of life. They desire liberty. They desire limitless earning potential which isn't constricted by their career of choice. They want to make a lasting difference to the world with their concepts.
And if that sounds a bit like you, then you might also have the entrepreneurial bug.
However being an entrepreneur requires embracing fear and doubt.
Yes, there are a large amount of good things about being an entrepreneur, but starting your own business can come with it's own set of struggles, especially at the start. Inconsistent revenue, tedious hours of work, and consistently doubting yourself every stage along the way are not unusual.
How is it likely that you must take the risk and try to get more clients?
Here are a couple of things to consider:
First, what's the potential possibility of doing this? That's to say, if you do what you are considering doing, what's the possible disadvantage? Is it losing money? Leaving your career? Possible embarrassment that might come with failing?
2nd, what is the potential result if everything works out? What if you "win" the entrepreneurship game? Will you be wealthy? Will you be famous and admired? Are you going to get to eventually do what you need and live with an enhanced standard of life?
Third, what will likely happen if you do nothing at all? What is the cost of not taking positive steps in any way whatsoever? Is it to spend a lifetime in a job that you don't love? Is it to always wonder what could have been if you took that risk? Is it realizing that you will never be in a position to provide the type of life you truly want for yourself and your family?
OK, now that you've got all that looked after, ask yourself if the result of taking no action is worth avoiding the potential likelihood of failure? Then ask yourself if it's worth the pain of never having the great positive outcome of success?
Is the price of avoiding the failure and staying on your present trail worth the agony of never getting the success and accomplishment you are hoping for?
If that security isn't worth giving up, then you should not leap right into the arena of start ups and entrepreneurs.
From the other viewpoint, if the pain of staying the same outweighs the chance of failure, then you know that you need to do something, and you know you have to start your own business.
