Fear of starting out makes people don’t advance by any chance. Most people are afraid of doing something that might end up failing or wrong. They choose to eliminate their worries and anxieties by not doing it. So they just stay in their comfort zone for a long time.

For many, many, and many reasons, I’ve seen or read, or even heard stories of aged people who already experienced their life to the fullest and regretted their decisions when they were young for not taking their chance to fail or wrong earlier.

Most of those opportunities were mostly about starting a business or creating extra income from side hustling or even building a passive income. Because those grown people I have stated above revolve around retired workers who likely have never thought about their financial freedom when they’re not working anymore.

The questions are, why did it pass away?

It is simply because they are afraid to start when they have the shot. They were afraid of losing the game sooner and got defeated. Not knowing how to move on after the failures and forever stay miserable.

I write this for every young soul out there who is still afraid of getting started with just about anything, such as writing a book or starting a blog, doing a side hustle, running a business, creating relationships or networks, and any other passion you would love to do.

Here’s why you have to take action earlier so it can transform you.

#1. The Growth

When you take action for something that scares you the most, usually you will get out of your comfort zone. It will feel hard and scary at first, but when you stay in the process and strive for continuous learning, you will eventually make it somehow and get rid of all the anxiety or doubt you had before.

You will get out of your comfort zone and it is going to give you a big impact on your growth personally. That alone will allow you to become a thoughtful person.

#2. The Lessons

Starting earlier means you will take your chances out of nowhere and go deeper for the results you want to reach. Basically, you could fail a lot in the process and sure will seriously deplete your mental energy. But the more you fail faster and earlier, the more you will learn.

After you’ve learned your failure, you could choose either to evaluate and fix it, so next time it would be better, or just give up on the spot and pretend like you never knew about it from the very first start. It just blew away like the winds.

#3. The Experiences

Someone or somebody out there starts off as nothing, then they show up from nowhere and suddenly become famous for their work or any other masterpiece crafts. You may think they are lucky enough to get their work recognized all over the world or just in one night. The truth isn’t.

Successful people do their things from zero and seek the formulas to earn their goals. It is not something you would gain just in one day or one week or one month or even one year. It takes time and patience to get through all the endeavors. Experience makes them stand out among other people who don’t do the same thing.

#4. The Knowledge

After the lessons learned and the experiences you’ve passed through, you will become a knowledgeable person. You accumulate the knowledge you already get in the process along your way to success and you are ready to share it. People will look for you, even if they voluntarily pay you a lot of money to get your knowledge.

#5. The Journey

The journey is the last reason you should start. You will be wiser about your next step. You will take careful actions for what may not benefit you in the process ahead. You prepare to share your stories with those who may in need to strive in the long run after so many struggles.

You’ve become the master of what you start. You are the journey beyond hope.

Conclusion

To be the person who has skepticism and disbelief toward something you are afraid to start off, reconsider how it is going to affect you. For me, I believe all those 5 things I have listed above are things that keep me continuing to continue after struggle and struggle ahead. So that is why I start soon, so in the future, I already become the best version of what I am now. It impacts me internally and externally, personally and universally. It forces me to transform into a wonderful person.
