I joined a business someone started, personally invested $200k, and forwent income for a year. This is after leaving a prestigious finance job after 5-6 years in the industry and quitting a senior role at a Fintech.

Company’s sales is flat, and it’s running out of money. If this doesn’t work out, I’m a guy who quit the previous start-up (not doing very well rn) after 1 year, blew money, and joined another one that’s also not doing well.

I feel like I’m not employable and that maybe my judgment is poor. Has anyone experienced or gone through this?

    Thanks for this. I’m dealing with similar fears and this is really helpful. It’s easy to fall into a default fear-driven mindset, almost subconsciously. Sometimes feels pretty hopeless. Thanks.

      Glad you found it useful. If you can isolate money and time fears into separate tracks and deal with them independent of one another, then it is easier to then deal with what’s left over…. That’s what I have found…
