A question for the Fastlaners!

[anshulverma]

I have a question to the Fastlaners.

Before that, let me give you some context. I am a 22 year old software developer. I wanted to become a software engineer since I was about 12-13 years old. Not for money, but I always wanted to provide value to people around me, especially to my family, and when I saw that software engineers earn much more than other jobs I decided to become one. Now, after becoming what I always wanted to become, I realise that this job will not let me achieve my dreams.

My parents' financial condition is not great, and I provide as much as I can.

I recently read The Fastlane. After reading the book, I am filled with motivation and passion to switch the roadmap, but the entity holding me back is "Uncertainty".

Uncertainty that me leaving my job will be a good decision.
Uncertainty that if I leave my job to create a business, will it work.
Uncertainty of me getting a job if I fail my business.
Uncertainty of me being able to provide for my family.

And I believe that this Uncertainty comes from not having a clear roadmap, a plan or an innovative idea. I am not sure what I would do after leaving my job. This is why even after reading fastlane, I am unable to gather enough courage to resign the job which I don't like. (I don't particularly 'hate' my job, but I don't like the fact that I don't get enough time to upskill and to even think about other things. I get home late and tired. I am young and I want to enjoy life.)

Now, my question to the Fastlaners is, how do you gather courage to begin, to leave things behind, to resign from job, to move to a different city...?
Or do you not think too much and just press the accelerator? Or do you follow some other advice/mantra?
