Determination is key – when I felt my enthusiasm waning I’d re-read that Charles Bukowski quote about going all the way and “freezing on a park bench”. I’ve never found a better one to give me the swift kick I still occasionally need.

In reply to Craig Wright.

Hey, Craig!

A (smart) leap of faith may be a good idea. After all, it’s much more proactive than being pushed…and allows you to do things on YOUR terms (rather than setting up your business in a panic.) Good luck! :)

Here’s to the freelance life! ;)

An interesting read. I’m going through this process right now – I currently work 50/50 as an employed technical author and a freelance copywriter and really would like to go 100% freelance. But I know it is fear of not getting enough money and projects that is holding me back. I’ve always thought I’d need to be pushed rather than jump myself, but maybe things aren’t going to turn out that way…might be time for a leap of faith.

Great post Heather!

Last year became my “just jump” year. As my way of conquering my fear, I decided to jump out of a plane. The actual exhilaration from jumping was amazing, but I used the mantra of “just jump” in so many other parts of my life. The biggest “jump jump” moment was when I quit a job that was making me miserable to become a freelance copywriter. Best move I’ve made in a long time!

To anyone else who is being held back by fear, I say, “jump jump!” You’ll be glad that you did!
