I spend much of my time parsing between “I need more structure/security/whatever than I feel I can provide myself through entrepreneurship” and “I’m afraid to bet on myself and lose” every day during coaching.

In post-secondary, having tried the thing that terrifies you and learning is a huge success. How do we set that precedent for the rest of life? What if “betting on yourself” were the increasingly safe bet?

I still remember my reaction when my husband told me he feels safer as an entrepreneur than as an employee. And the story I was telling myself.

At the time, I laughed it off. I was in full-time employment and not ready to have my way of thinking challenged. I dismissed it as ‘he’s just different from me’. There are people for entrepreneurship, and people for employment. And I’m certainly not entrepreneurship material.
