This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.

In today's episode, I discuss why genuine fears, like financial risk, combine with reputational risk to stop people from making positive changes.

Chapter summary from Work/Life Flywheel:

• Going it alone isn’t easy, but financial uncertainty is often outweighed by the fulfilment you get from a work/life characterised by creativity, experimentation and constant learning.
• With more opportunities than ever before, to make a change, now is the perfect time to take action.
• Most people don’t do it because of a fear of failure, but you’re more likely to regret inaction than action.
• Self-compassion helps you become happier, healthier, better motivated and more satisfied with life.
• Facing up to your emotions and revealing them to others alleviates anxiety and lowers the risk of depression.
• Imagining you’re talking to a friend or talking to yourself gives you a detached, objective view of your decision.
• Using the mental model of living in the future, improves your short and long-term decision making.
