People are risk averse. They are too afraid to take the leap, even though they so badly want to.
That’s understandable. Moving out of comfort zone can be scary.
That’s where building yourself a safety net can be handy. A safety net that supports you financially and mentally when things don’t go as per plan. May be a unique skill set, a side hustle, considerable savings in your bank account or support structure in the form of family and friends.
It takes time and patience to build one but a safety net allows you to take that leap and jump high with confidence. It allows you to play the game for a longer period. You know whatever future brings in, you’ll still be ok.
