As the title says, You’ve got the money in the bank to start your idea or so you think. How do you tell yourself it’s ok and to take the first jump knowing the potential risk of losing it all?

    Sometimes it is not a jump but more of a push or kick.

    I found out on a Monday that I didn’t have a job anymore. I was lucky that I was given a severance package that almost lasted a year, but I was caught between going back to an area I had started to age out of or going forward in a new area where I didn’t have a lot of experience. In the end I decided to start my own firm and I have been working in it ever since.

    I didn’t have money to start the business but I knew I could use my transferrable skills and give it a go. That is all you need because money will come as you go. When you get kicked out or pushed, you are starting from the bottom anyway so there is no where to go but up.
