While many will have a fear of heights, spiders, or public speaking, some of us have a fear of making the wrong choice when it comes to changing career (or even role or sector)Rachel Schofield released a report that focussed on our fear of making the jump. She found that a career move can, at times, feel so risky that people get hit by what has been termed ‘decidophobia’.The battle for most is how to be certain the next step in their career will give them what they are looking for and is move for the better.
The move to self-employment is one which comes with risks but there is a huge amount of information and expertise available to help ensure that the decision is the right one and ultimately a successful one!
At Momentum we have a huge amount of experience with helping those make the right career decisions and understand, not only if their ideas/plans/thoughts are realistic but, if they themselves are ready for taking the step to self-employment.
Becoming self-employed unlocks the freedom and creativity to regain control of your life while regaining the opportunity to reach the potential you deserve. While you may have considered the option of working for yourself, where do you start in finding the right information on how to do it?

Don’t just take our word for it – listen to our podcast with Tom Taylor. He took the leap after 18 years of employment in September 2022. Its had its ups and downs, but for Tom the results have been so rewarding.
The best bit of advice when considering a change of direction, and a move to self-employment, is to seek advice from those who have had experience in doing it themselves. The one thing which aligns all business owners is their absolute desire to help those who follow in their footsteps. They have learnt so much and fully appreciated the support they got when they started and want to pass it on.
