What is the bigger risk?
I think the most difficult part of doing something is in the starting.
A few months ago I was working at a great job. I was challenged, had a great community of co-workers, and was growing both personally and professionally.
I left it all behind.
Although life was great, I knew that I wanted to make something. I wanted to own something and have the creative control to breath something from nothing. Entrepreneurship is an art-form, it’s taking basic elements, mashing them together and… poof! Something.
I remember the weeks leading up to quitting my job. I was stressed, I was frightened, and I wasn’t sure if I was making a huge mistake. I made the leap anyway. Looking back, the most terrifying part of starting my business was working up the nerve to make a first move.
If you’re on the edge of making a leap, it’s worth it. Failure or success you’re going to be better for it in the end. Maybe the bigger risk is looking back on life wondering…
What would have happened if I had made the jump?
