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?

Yes definitely. One example I have of that is when I was in university I dreamed of going to Japan for an exchange year. But I was scared of it being too expensive for me to be able to pay for it. This fear held me back for 3 years not doing it. Until I actually checked for the first time how much it would cost instead of just following the vague "oh it will be too expensive" mantra I had until then. And turned out that it wasn't that expensive at all. So I postponed an incredible life-changing experience, for 3 years, just because I didn't evaluate the factual basis of my fears.
