I am nearly mid 20'S and been on my entrepreneurial journey for about 3 years now. I have had what most people will think of as relative success for my age, lower 6 figure income working in digital marketing. But to me all i can still keep thinking about is...

- What if things go tits up and all comes crashing down? Then what.

- I haven't had a job for a while using my university degree, and all i keep thinking is the gap in my CV (Resume) since my last ever job keeps getting wider. When things go tits up who will rehire me after not working for nearly 3 years?

- I have enough savings buffer for two years living expenses in the worst case scenario, but what if i cant make anything else work in the 2 years and burn through my savings and also having no one hire me.

I dont know, i just can never shake these feelings, is this a normal thing for you older guys who have been on this journey a lot longer than i have? I can never make the same type of income even if i was to work in the field in which i studied at University, yet i still feel this holds more merit to be a part of normal society than what i have personally achieved.
