Far too often we invent new excuses not to step out of the comfort zone we've made ourselves so comfortable in. If only we had enough Courage to take a risk, then those around us let us know how naïve we really are.

“The ability to endure a certain amount of fear and uncertainty about the future is, in a way, the basic requirement for living in the digital bohemian.”

This is exactly what applies to all self-employed people in general. Once you choose to live outside the care of employers and the state, you must learn to deal with insecurity.

Uncertainty is a brain reaction that tells us something important is happening in our life – our body's alarm system, so to speak. Depending on how big your general Optimism and your willingness to take risks, it will be easier or more difficult for you to ignore or put this warning from your body into perspective.

As a remedy for uncertainty, Jonathan Fields, in his recommended book Uncertainty, recommends using a "certainty anchor" that creates a sense of habit (such as a morning routine).
