Leaving behind the familiar corporate world can be daunting, but taking a leap of faith and following your heart is essential to becoming an entrepreneur. We may question our choices; if we listen to the voice of fear, it says, "Will I have enough?" or "Will I be enough?". Indeed, it is not only a leap of faith. It is a leap of faith combined with systematic planning. It is learning as much as you can from all aspects of Corporate, volunteering for anything useful in the long run, saving at least two years' worth of bills, and returning to humble beginnings to build something that is yours. You get to keep your freedom, vision, and learning, considering you might not monetize the first year. It is like jumping out of a plane; your parachute is your plan in your hand, ready to cushion your landing. You don't want to wait for it; you must act quickly. You will look back and say, "I did it! Whether you keep climbing the corporate ladder or become your lady boss, nothing is perfect, but both experiences will be yours without fear. You gain no matter which journey you take. Don't place your life on a shopping cart waiting to be checked out; take it and execute! What are you waiting for? It's time to take action!
