Hi Katya,

Take a step back from the fear for a moment and imagine this was someone else in this position.  What advice would you give them?  Say you take the opportunity and in 12 months time you decide it doesn’t work out… what will you have lost?

For me, the one fear I have is looking back with regret.  Regret that I didn’t take chances to follow my passions and see where they can lead.  I don’t think you can ever regret giving something like this a try.  If its your passion, once you commit to it, your natural drive and enthusiasm for something you love will carry you to find new ways of monetizing your skills and it could turn into the most amazing career, in ways you never even imagined.

Whatever your occupation you will be spending a considerable % of your life doing it.  Give yourself every opportunity to spend that time doing something you love and that resonates with who you are.  Be brave.  Believe in yourself.  No regrets.

I would love to know what you decide and how it goes for you.
