What are my Fears

This week in class we were asked to think about fears we might have in being an entrepreneur. If I pursue my calling with discipline, intentionality, and the help of travelers, what are the chances that you worst case scenario will really happen? My worst-case scenario is customers not liking what I bake and serve. No, I don’t think this scenario could really happen. I have been baking and serving treats for a long time to my friends, neighbors, church members, and family. I always get above and beyond complaints for my goodies. I have made recipes to mimic things we have eaten in Hawaii that have turned out great. As I look at my list of fears, the real core of my fear is, I don’t know what to do. Because I don’t know what to do, I feel that I will fail before I even start. I do worry about disappointing my husband and being judged by others. But as I think about these worries, they are worldly worries and I don’t need to worry about those things. I need to put my faith and trust in the Lord. If I do this, I will be OK. As I keep learning more about start ups and taking risk, I am feeling more confident about this adventure. My adventure of opening a bakery is something I have always wanted to do. I really like helping people and I really like baking. I know that with my families and friends support, I can start my own business. I believe in myself. As I start my journey and this fear pops into my mind while on my entrepreneurial journey, I will say a little prayer and remind myself of why I wanted to start this from the beginning. I want to do something I’m passionate about, good at, and serve people.
