Do you fear tough times? I know many people wouldn't abide. In fact that was how I felt some seven years back. Whenever I came across any tough situation, I got broke even before it strikes. I never liked confronting challenges. I'd rather escape or just shift it on others.

I grew up not lacking especially in areas of finances. Whenever I was broke I'd turn to my parents or sometimes i just turn to my brothers and they give me what I wanted.

Eventually, my sources of financial strength somehow reduced and I was forced to start a small business on my own. Today i now spend a dozen times what i usually received. But if i had feared tough times and remained in my comfort zone, I’d not learn business skills, computer programming, online marketing etc. I'd just be limiting opportunities for myself.
