As the title says, You've got the money in the bank to start your idea or so you think. How do you tell yourself it's ok and to take the first jump knowing the potential risk of losing it all?

Somehow a couple customers turned into a website then with networking I leveraged a resell channel (not knowing thats what it was called). That sort of exploded small scale that got me a terrible office. I wasn't even old enough to buy alcohol then.

The first few customers proved a market need for me that I just kept trying replicate that before I actually realized I was in business for myself. I don't recall ever "making a jump" or having a windfall of funds and it was by no means effortless.
