While studying business and obtaining my MBA, I didn't want to be an entrepreneur. I know it's the only way to make some real money out there, but it seemed really frightening to me. Then I started to see how it could possibly work for me and I tried a few different things. Now I'm pretty certain that being an entrepreneur isn't for me.
I'm jealous of those who do it. I watch videos and talk with entrepreneurs all the time. But there's a block for me: anxiety and laziness.
I still wish there had been a well-paying career in psychology for me. Or that being a financial planner would take off more quickly. But the anxiety really gets in the way of developing business as a planner.
I have always loved arbitrage though. If there's one thing I have a passion for, it's finding an in-demand product and reselling it for a higher price. There's far less anxiety involved in what is almost a "sure thing" than there is in starting your own business.
Maybe my opportunity will come, but I just don't know where it is. Until then, I'm making a return to the corporate world. It's depressing, sure, but having a steady check will at least get rid of the pain of seeing a declining number in the bank.
