How do you get over the fear that you’re about to walk away from job security for something that might not work out? I’m staring down a career pivot and I can’t stop spinning out. I keep thinking about health insurance, recession headlines, what-ifs. I want to move forward, but I feel paralyzed.

Job security is an illusion. I stayed in a “safe” job until they laid off 12% of the staff overnight. The only real security is skills and momentum. Bet on yourself

This is a great approach, although it requires a major change of your mindset (I'm still working on it). You're your own job security. Your skills and experience belong to you.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
