Hello,

I think you are right, The important is, at least we tried doing our best in order to make everything possible. The wings referred to in the headline are really the passion and belief in yourself. Thanks for all the information.

How you deal with fear is exactly right Office Furniture. One way to go to market is with a positioning strategy that absolutely differentiates you. That way your customer is compelled to deal with you. It tells them you are a leader in something.

I’m currently in this situation and I’m launching out into the deep. One part of me is bold willing to take risks, when I take one big step I get comfortable though and the other part of me wants to wait til the perfect time to go forward. Very good post…the fear will always be there but it’s how we handle fear. It’s possible to turn the fear of the unknown into an excitement of trying something new… it makes it fun to jump.

Of course Daniel, overcoming fear is paramount. You have to convince yourself that there is no shame in failing, it’s all part of the journey. The real failure is never jumping.

Fear is the enemy of success. We can’t be successful with our decision if we don’t really try to do it even if we are unsure with the result. The important is, at least we tried doing our best in order to make everything possible. In case we failed our mission, we need to use that failure as a stepping stone towards success.

I couldn’t agree more, you have to be able to take big risks, those that can’t are the ones that fail.

You’re right on Jared, I probably spoke a little too broad with that comment. I should have said that your best chance to succeed is to make that first jump.

Thanks for the input and point of view. I met one gentleman who lost eleven businesses before he made it huge. There is no shame in failing, but there is in refusing to get back up.

Thanks Lloyd for “new ideas being better than gold.” How true.

Let’s hope that other readers who may be contemplating that first jump are inspired by the confidence in doing it inspired in these comments.

Wow, when they talk about comment interaction and mention headlines, they are definitely talking about posts like this.

I couldn’t turn away as I read the headline to this post. Not only was the headline intriguing, but the content was great as well. I think you got it right about the time NEVER being right. If you wait until the time is “just right” you are never going to jump.

And Ed, I’m sorry I don’t agree with you. I think that more often than not an entrepreneur does NOT succeed the first time she sets out in her endeavor, be it online or off.

The REAL entrepreneurs have the gall to ante up again and muster the strength and potential humiliation of failing again and succeeding the second or third time.

Just my two cents though.

Ideas that don’t get to be implemented or used in a pragmatic process render no real value; this is why, I believe, taking the first step is a difficult action: it proves the validity, it certifies. With entrepreneurship, this is even more obvious, because, in this field, new ideas are better than gold.

True entrepreneurs eventually DO take that first step. Once taken, it often results in the excitement and expectation of a dream fulfilled. Even during challenging times, it is comforting to know that your destiny is in your hands not someone else’s. Thank you Betty, Lauren and Pete for your inspirational comments.

I agree with the insights above. Risk is every part of your decision. If you want to make sure of the result, just provide your plan with a back-up plan. In that way, you could make sure that no matter what happen, everything will still went well. Nothing to worry.

Fear prevents us from doing everything that would help to benefit our lives. Working for one self is a big step, but its’ one that has so many upsides if done right. Thanks for sharing this with us, and hopefully it’ll inspire others to take the leap.

You’re definiately right about deciding to take that first step is the hardest. I was held back by such fear before I finalyl decided to start my own business a few months ago. And while my “wings” have been shinged a few times, I woudln’t have decided agaisnt doign what I’m doing now.
