How to Make the Commitment to Blogging
If youre at all interested in becoming a blogger and quitting your day job, then you should go with that feeling.
Many of us toy with the idea of working online and quitting our jobs but very few have the nerve to set out and actually make it happen. This is a big shame however, as really theres nothing to lose and everything to gain. In this article, well look at how you can overcome the fear and the apprehension holding you back and dive in to become a blogger.
Fear Setting
If youre afraid of giving up your job to become a blogger, then its time to do some fear setting. This is a technique recommended by Tim Ferriss and its highly effective when it comes to combating irrational fears.
To begin, youre going to ask yourself what it is youre afraid of and then make a list. Is it the thought of not being able to find work if you arent successful? Is it the thought that your family might think youre irresponsible and leave you?
Once youve made the list, youre next going to go down the column and assess every item in terms of how realistic it is. At the same time, youre going to write down how youd deal with that problem if it came to pass. Would your partner really leave you because you decided to chase your dreams? Wouldnt it in fact be easy to walk into another job with your credentials?
Side Hustles
More importantly though, recognize that running a blog doesnt have to mean giving up the day job. Put more time into a blog and it will grow faster but to be honest, you can do perfectly well with an hour a night and some time at the weekends.
If youre really passionate about your blog, then you should find this doesnt feel like work either So why not try fitting your blogging in around your job until its bringing in some funds? This way theres no risk and youll have a much better idea of whether you can be successful before you make any giant leaps.
The Stick
Finally, consider one more fear.
The fear of what happens if you dont take a chance on blogging.
The fear of being stuck in the same job, day in day out, for the next 20, 30 or 40 years of your life. 
Now you decide: which is more scary?
