When you consider how many ways there are to succeed, it’s really interesting to see that even today, very few people actually decide to start their own business. From what I’ve seen, most of them are too weighed down by fear and insecurity. They’re worried that they will make a mistake or make a bad investment, and they never even give it a good, honest try. But there is a way to get past this...
Being able to control your own success is incredibly tempting because it’s so valuable. That’s one of the main reasons people dream about starting their own business. When you’re working for yourself, any amount of effort you put in is an investment in your own success.
But I’ve seen many people quit because they’re paralyzed by fear. Bound to one spot in their life because they’re so afraid of making one single mistake. Some of them didn’t even bother to take the most basic steps. I guess it’s that much more comfortable just to keep on dreaming.
Becoming a successful entrepreneur is something you have to do yourself - no one can do it for you. On your journey, life will give you plenty of obstacles, and you really don’t need to start adding some yourself. Fearing the unknown is normal, but you can’t allow it to distort your reality. And like any obstacle in life, it’s there so that you can overcome it.

Many people can’t wait to quit their 9 to 5, so they could get finally get to work on their own business. However - these two aren’t mutually exclusive! In fact, by keeping your business a side hustle, you’ll take some of the unnecessary pressure off that comes from not having a steady income. You don’t need to cash in your savings either. Simply take your time, bootstrap, and invest what you can afford - even if that’s only your time, for now.
Another very important thing I want you to understand - the unknown isn’t what it used to be. So there’s really not a rational excuse to be so afraid of failing if there are so many people you can learn from. All you have to do is model their success.
When I was getting started, I didn’t have anything - no courses I could turn to, no masterclasses… Not even an eBook. It was so frustrating because I had to gain my expertise the hard way, through trial and error. Learning by doing, making mistakes and then doing some more. But you don’t have to. That’s precisely why I’m sharing all of this - one rocky road to success should be more than enough.
