How To Take Action

• To make a big change, like leaving a job for a new dream, think of it as getting a free chance to win big. If it doesn't work out, you're no worse off than before.
• Remember that risks come with some tough times at first, but they can make you much happier later on.
• When thinking of quitting, the hard part is worrying what others will say and maybe making less money for a while.
• It's important to deal with some tough times now to have a better future, but it's hard for many people to do.

A good way of doing this is to start small. If you are nervous about quitting your job, try to find time after work or on weekends to start building your new dream. This way, you can see if you like it and if it could work out before you take the big leap.

Also, plan for the money part. Maybe save some money first or find a way to make a little money on the side. This can help you feel less scared about the money you might lose if you quit your job.

Talk to people who believe in you. They will help you feel braver about making a change. And remember, it's okay to be scared. It's a part of trying something new.

Lastly, think about the good things that can happen if you take the risk. It can help you stay strong when you feel like giving up. Remember, you can't win if you don't play the game. So, if you really want to do something new or different, go for it! It might be just what you need to change your life for the better.
