So, you've been thinking about getting out of the corporate rat race for years, and starting your own home-based business. But your old friend FEAR keeps reminding you about how good you have it - paid vacation, benefits, a good steady paycheck... Still it's hard to leave your kids every morning and let someone else shape their lives for 10-12 hours a day. It's hard to give up the dream of being in control of all of your time.

What's keeping you from making those phone calls, writing that newsletter, going to networking functions - and all the other things you need to do to market your business, so the world knows you exist? Could it be that little pest called fear?
