You pulled the anxiety of "am I working on the wrong thing" right out of my mind! For a long time, I jumped between side hustles because I kept hitting the lull of - is this even worth it? Thanks for sharing your experience on this. As you said, risk is inevitable, sometimes accepting it as a cost makes it easier to push forward. Looking forward to your next post!

Hey Kelsey, love this post and couldn’t agree more - everything in life is risky!

I’ve been challenged by another Substacker

to take action by the end of August - I’m nervous as hell but I know the risk of not doing it is much greater than doing it!

There’s a risk to both paths! You just pick the risk that you’re more excited by!

Totally resonates! Thanks for the thoughtful post. Today I posted a quote I heard on a podcast that I thought might apply here too: "I'd rather fail as a writer than succeed as a lawyer."
