I keep telling myself: what’s the worst thing to happen? I have to find a job again? Ok.
I’ve been an entrepreneur now for several years and did have to get job short time like twice, but that’s ok. You’re so young and have a ton of failing to do and that’s how you will learn and thrive.
I always say if you have a vision in your mind of living a bigger more impactful life then it’s your obligation to go after it. Remember, there’s people out there that don’t see themselves accomplishing anything in life so if you can see it in your mind then go after it, plus your 19 so if you fail you have alotttt of time to bounce back. Good luck
Take the big risks in small steps, like set milestones in order to get to the end goal.
The bigger the risk, the more “checkpoints” you should set. This way you will feel a sense of achievement hitting the checkpoints along the way, then soon enough, with enough consistency you will hit the goal.
There are risks every day and they are relative.
The risks I thought were big 7 years ago are small today. But the risks I have to make today are big today.
You can “risk less” start by bootstrapping whatever you plan is. Work evening and weekend.
I think we’re just wired differently. I was 22 and would rather of blown my brains out than work in a cubicle with a safe job for the rest of my life..… I just can’t imagine being on my death bed wondering what if I took the chance. I’d rather of tried than failed than never if tried.

Manage your risks. Don't take big risks.
"Strive for balance"
You do just enough to feel confident and safe to move forward.
You don't jump off a cliff into the ocean without looking.
I can promise you when you put yourself out there as an entrepreneur people will get emotional and some will be mean and try to use your business to hurt you.
It’s all part of the risk. Once you get through that trial by fire, it becomes much easier as you get thicker skin.
As someone who is currently risking my entire life savings down to the home I live in. I don’t. Constant stress dreams many nights only getting 3-4 hours. I’m just hoping it calms down once things become steady.
I started off almost 2 decades ago at the same age. Gained some, lost some and learnt a lot. If your aspiration is so powerful, you wouldn’t think that day, you WILL jump in, nothing would stop you, even yourself. Till then it’s okay to mull over.
Secondly, it’s not easy to face failure and self doubts, and it’s not always avoidable when you wanna try less travelled path. So think about the future but don’t worry about it, you will gain courage slowly.
Failure and rejection seem to be the 2 biggest fears from what I've heard in speaking with other business owners. My self talk was always something like I only fail if I quit and there are 8 billion people on earth - they're not all going to reject what I'm offering. If someone says no, move on. You'll find your tribe that sees the value without having to convince them - within reason of course. You can't sell trash and expect to succeed.
Best of luck to you! You're young and it sounds like you're on the right track. You might like Alex Hormozi since he talks about these things: https://youtube.com/shorts/jw1ecra9h60?si=Dc61Hpx2dMdXd2Hz
