It’s not difficult to start dreaming of earning online. I know it was easy for me to get swayed into the concept of working on the internet, building websites and helping marketers sell. So I went for it, without looking back. But I needed to do something to make the decision final. I don’t know why but I felt there was something holding me back from really embracing my decision to leave my job and work online.

Maybe it was the fear that I was venturing to a whole new world. Maybe it was the loneliness of leaving a job. You get lonely when you leave something that has occupied your thoughts for a very long time, even if the experience was bad. You’ve made friends in your old company, and though they may still be around after you leave, you’re throwing out a huge part of your common denominator with these people. There’s also that fear of never connecting with them again because maybe… just maybe… your job was all you had in common.

Sad to say, it sucks just knowing that you’ve made your decision, but you’re so close to going back because your fear is getting to you. Fortunately, there is a solution to that.

Buy something that will help your new enterprise in a big way.

It doesn’t matter if all you can afford is one of the many refurbished laptops being sold online, or a small website that contains only your portfolio. As long as you get something that will make you feel invested in your new world, get it.

It’s weird how taking the plunge was easy after that. I got something that cost me a huge chunk of my savings and I needed a way to pay for it. So I embraced the decision, by making myself unable to turn my back to it. I got my laptop on installment though, which is good for me because I felt like I was renting it until I can finally afford to buy it. Worked so well that I’m now looking to buy new investments for my business.
