My biggest fear is choosing the wrong business.
With all my choices, I worry that the option I choose will not be profitable and I will spend all my time trying to keep my business afloat while my family surfers.
On the other side of that coin, I also worry about finding myself in a successful business that I don’t enjoy. For example, I have been performing for over 10 years and within the first few years I realized it isn’t what I want to do with the rest of my life. I enjoy performing but wanted to do other things and I hate the stress.
If I choose the wrong businesses and it isn’t successful, I could put my family in a financially awkward situation. On the other hand, success in something I grow to hate would mean creating a job for myself instead of something I am proud of…. These are my biggest fears.
How can I overcome this fear?
My plan to overcome this fear is by setting specific goals of businesses I want to experiment with, create a specific schedule to complete those goals, and adjust depending on what is working and what I enjoy the most.
Plans for 2014
Because of my insane schedule this December I wasn’t able to create a plan for 2014. I still will be working my contract job that is taking up 50 – 60 hours of my time per week, but I am working to create a detailed plan for 2014 that will be completed by the end of January.
When I finish my 2014 plan, I will share it on the blog.
Facing Your Fears
Below is a great video on facing your fear. It starts a little slow, but it is a really good talk on turning fear into fuel by Jonathan Fields.
