Scary Move, Eh?
The risks of starting a business can be a fright. Fortunately, the right attitude can turn your quickened heart rate and night sweats into the kind of excitement that leads to a successful business.
When you become an entrepreneur, you create a whole new world
for yourself—a world founded on exploring your passion.
Opportunity awaits you, but, truth be told, it is a little
frightening. Uncertainty takes over as you step into this new life.
Your heart and mind seem to be going down separate paths, but you
are confident there are untapped possibilities within you. You know
you must make your idea a reality.
The feelings you have are familiar. Perhaps you recall the day
you left for college or the moment you walked through the door to
your first job. From Day One, everyone else seems to know exactly
what they are doing. It seems like a road map has been published,
and you were left off the distribution list.
"This dream has
been bottled up inside you for years—it's your true self,
not what others perceive you to be."

They know the "lingo." You try to fit in, but you know
that you are not yet part of this new world. You realize you have
to carve out your own unique position and that it will take time.
You know you will do a great job, if people will just give you a
chance.

Welcome to the birth of an entrepreneur! As you develop your own
business, you will no doubt experience these feelings all over
again.
Adding to the swirl of confusion, your passion begins to push
you into a place where you become totally open and vulnerable. Your
friends and family may not be supportive, because you may not be
able to fully communicate your state of mind and heart. This dream
has been bottled up inside you for years—it's your true
self, not what others perceive you to be. This is the critical
point where you decide to go for it or not.
