Growing up.. nobody really wants you to become an entrepreneur

Parents, neighbors, family, society all shift you towards "the safe bet"
​
​Go to college, get a solid job with steady pay and live the dream!
​
​That's what I did
​
​I contorted myself into this puzzle piece that fit into companies' needs
​
​When I did start to get the entrepreneurial itch.. I was terrified to make the leap
​
So I didn't.. for years and years.
​
I was so used to others taking the risk, to figure out sales and marketing and support that the thought of doing everything myself terrified me.

I did eventually make the leap and now think I'd die if I worked for a company again.

What's keeping you from making the leap?

Or if you've done it already, what resistance did you encounter along the way?
