Description

John Pugliano of Investable Wealth joins me to talk about navigating the fear of leaving one job and starting a fresh career.One key theme that I hear from a lot of people is that they want to transition from their job doing X into doing Y (something related to permaculture). But that desire to make the transition is often overshadowed by fear, fear of the the unknown.Common fears include:How can I afford my mortgage, insurance, food for my kids, etc.What if my business fails. I will be financially ruined. I have too much debt, so I can't afford to quit my job.These are some of the many reasons that John and I have heard from people when it comes from giving up income 'certainty' for the unknown income volatility that comes with being self employed. These reasons, may or may not be justified. Often times these are just quick excuses that someone comes up with for why they really don't want to do do what they say they are going to do.That's all totally fine. Follow your own path But if things really seem scary, then take some time to run the numbers, ask the tough questions, and figure out a way to de-risk things. Maybe it really isn't as bad as you first thought..
