I'm really frustrated with my job and just as you said, the fear of not being able to pay my rent and being broke keeps me working. I just created a blog (www.createyourfuturetoday.blogspot.com) with blogspot and I intend to monetize it with time and I also intend becoming a motivational speaker. My problem now is how to take action. Thanks for the post, it has really inspired me. Thought provoking post.

This is not why I wrecked a truck but it part of why I lost the job. I decided then I was not going to work for anyone again. I had a idea for years about a buisness, and like you said it was a low start up cost. Now Im going to get this done. Keep writing good blogs. Thanks Hey Bob

You have no idea how much this article means to me at this point in my life. I feel as if God is pushing me out of my day job, and directing me to go forward and take a few extra steps of faith - a new degree of glorious risk! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks for being a huge part of my journey escaping the Rat Race - I'm learning so much from you sir. John Bob, I just read this article all the way through today, and it rocked.

I was especially encouraged by the parts about waiting on God's timing and not letting fear keep you from starting. As we're starting out with our projects, it's such a blessing and boon to remember to not allow fear to keep us from action as well as waiting on the Lord for His timing. Great post!

Trading that for doing something meaningful can be a tremendous leap of faith, but it will lead you to become a different person. That's what I've found in my journey from employee to business owner, and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It's truly changed my worldview, from that of a dependent employee to one of financial independence and possibility. I started my consulting business over 4 years ago, and it's truly changed my life as well as my family's. I make more money, have more financial security, and more flexibility than I ever had as an employee. One of the best things about my journey has been teaching my kids (my son is 10 and my daughter is 7) about entrepreneurship. I've seen my kids shift their thinking about what they want to be when they grow up, and now they're talking more about what kinds of businesses they want to have. That perspective is an amazing gift to be able to give my children. I blog about this on my website, where I show others how they can start and run a successful consulting business on the cheap.
