@FS: I suppose that could work, if fear serves as a motivator to you. I, on the other hand, tend to get so over analytical that I would probably abandon any venture where I thought I will never, ever succeed.

Rog – The point of believing you will never succeed in your new venture, is to be so scared that you actually WILL succeed!

Be so afraid of failure that you do everything possible to succeed.

@FS: I agree with the knowing that you may never get your old job back part; that certainly is strong motivation. That said, I would think that believing your new venture will never, ever succeed is the sort of attitude that leads to pessimism and eventually failure.

A good approach would be to quit your job knowing that you may never ever get your old job back, and you will never ever succeed in your new entrepreneurial adventure.

Once you have this thought, then you will prepare yourself for life and death, and you will succeed!
