Avoid these mistakes:
1) fear that your chosen field will not be profitable. all businesses can generate income, if done properly.
2) permanently tying your working hours to your income. find a way that will bring you money from your business while you sleep, play with kids etc.

Thanks for these suggestions. Sometimes I think I'm to eager and too keen on starting my business, so I'm thinking about it too hard and I feel that in a way I'm blocking myself from figuring it out.

You are completely right about this scary stage, it's like a roller coaster, just as I think I've overcome this stage, I get caught up right back in it. I know it is a journey, but sometimes I question myself whether I'm being foolish, or if I have what it takes to pull it off, and sometimes I think what if I never discover my true passion..and so on. But when these fears and thoughts occur I just acknowledge them and watch them as a neutral observer, I know these are just stages I need to go through.

Thanks, I wish the same to you.


Thank you all for your posts, it really helps to hear how others have been through the same thing. I don't really have the support of the people around me, or that support is somewhat halfhearted. I can tell they think I'm not going to make it, or that I'm being foolish. I know I have the strength to resist negative comments and pursue my own path, but it feels good to know I'm not all that crazy
