It is also likely that a few things are holding you back from achieving your dreams:
Business Fear. The feeling that you don’t know much about business and could never start your own company or take more responsibility for your current situation. Better to maintain the status quo and stay within your comfort zone than to face the fear of the unknown.
Certificate Intimidation. The idea that business is super complicated is an area best left to highly trained elite experts. If you don’t have an Ivy League MBA or similar expensive and time-consuming credentials, who are you to think you know what to do.
Imposter Syndrome. The gnawing fears that you’re inadequate and already in over your head. It’s only a matter of time before you’re exposed to be a total “fraud” and “phony.”
