Fear of uncertainty is a main reason why you are not taking a leap of faith to escape from working 9–5 or living a paycheck to paycheck life. We don’t jump and take a leap of faith to start a business because of fear and self-doubt.
Sometimes, we are stuck in our comfort zone and the benefits of not worrying your paycheck at the end of month cripples us to stay where we are. The cost and benefits are not weigh properly. The freedom from a toxic working environment or freebies of health insurance and hiding from the burning fire of starting a business.
Jumping and starting a business can also be rewarding, it can gives you the freedom to work at your own terms, you handle your time and task without pleasing anyone.
As an entrepreneur and start-up founders, there is an added pressure to be successful not only because of stakeholders but also you are proving yourself.
How to overcome the fear?
Here are 3 action steps that you can apply;
First, Set a Goal. Entrepreneurs and start up founders should have the ability to set goals and know where to go.
You will be the one to drive the company where do you want to take it? You can always start with small goals like having your first product or you can sell someone’s product. The goals could be very big but you need to have a realistic goals to meet your own expectations.
Second, Focus on your Passion.
We might be allergic with the word passion because you might be passionate on singing but would not even have a chance to be chosen on the British Got Talent Audition. You need to focus on passion that you can monetize and have a market that will pay you. Passion will help you to work so hard when the tough time comes and not easily give up because of burning desires to succeed.
Third, Manage your time wisely.
The hard part of being a start up entrepreneur is managing time wisely. Distractions will always hit your road. The Netflix, social media channels, laziness, etc. etc. are few things to overcome along the way. You need to discipline yourself and consistently work on the things that matters.
It’s time to take a leap of faith and overcome the FEAR-False, Expectations, Appearing , Real. Start with those 3 steps, set a clear goals, have the passion and manage your time wisely.
