From Doctor to Entrepreneur: Overcoming Fear & Family Pressure

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته.  I traded my medical career for the exciting world of marketing, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire for financial independence. Two years post-graduation (at 26), I've launched multiple ventures, many of which haven't succeeded.  My biggest hurdles? Procrastination fueled by fear of both failure and success – a significant mental resistance.  I constantly battle the urge to work, yet find myself paralyzed.  Adding to the pressure, my family urges me to secure a stable job, a sentiment I understand given my lack of demonstrable results.  They recently suggested a scholarship abroad, further fueling my feelings of being lost and overwhelmed.  Seeing peers marry and find employment while I struggle adds to the stress.  My dream is to rent an apartment, focus on my projects, and escape the constant pressure.  However, the fear of a lack of stable income weighs heavily.  I haven't pursued employment because my current entrepreneurial efforts, though inconsistent, generate more income than a typical job would.  Your advice and constructive criticism are invaluable.  This resonates with many young entrepreneurs facing similar challenges, especially the mental blocks and family expectations.  The current trend of side hustles and gig economy further highlights the struggle for stability versus passion projects.  Overcoming these hurdles requires a strategic plan, building resilience, and a support network.  I'm eager to learn from others who've navigated this path successfully.
