So it hit me last night. All this research, all these ideas, all these ways to make money. Why haven't I taken the first step towards my financial independence? Last night I realized its because I am scared shitless. :smxE:
I'm terrified to think I'll put a plan together that will allow me to leave my job. I'm scared to leave my comfort zone. I have these great bosses and a good work environment, but its not giving me everything I want.
I'm scared to death to think about life without my steady paycheck and company car. I'm scared to think I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE for my financial situation, and not just be able to rely on my bosses to make deals.
What a realization this has been. I feel strange that I am so scared. But I think the fact that I realize this will allow my to figure out a way to move past my fear.
Thanks for listening. I feel like this forumn is a safe place to admit this.
EDIT: After rereading my post, I realized that I need to find ways to get past this fear. What techniques have you guys used to move past the fear and take that all-important first step?
