Great post, Kathy, and so true! Self-doubt is a form of fear. I think of that line from Desiderata: "Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness." The twelve-step acronym is HALT. Don't let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Stop before that happens. Not so easy when we get all caught up with the excitement of the web and look up to see it's already 4:00 am!

Patrick,

I hadn’t thought of pursuing the entrepreneurial path as a form of “rebellion” but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head! IT IS!!! Especially when everyone you know is “playing it safe” with a “real” job!

No wonder family and friends think we’re “crazy”!!!
