I fear failure, and it's crippling me (alien.top)

I joined a business someone started, personally invested $200k, and forwent income for a year. This is after leaving a prestigious finance job after 5-6 years in the industry and quitting a senior role at a Fintech.

Company's sales is flat, and it's running out of money. If this doesn't work out, I'm a guy who quit the previous start-up (not doing very well rn) after 1 year, blew money, and joined another one that's also not doing well.

I feel like I'm not employable and that maybe my judgment is poor. Has anyone experienced or gone through this?

If you worked before, you have some value in the previous company. You can always go back.

Truth is business is not for everyone. There is a steep learning curve and you need resilience for it.

Take some time away. Reflect on what you could have done better. Go back to a job. Build confidence. And come back again when you’re ready.

There are always opportunities. Only question is whether you’re ready for them.
