Why Earning For Yourself Feels Scarier Than Earning For Others

Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore

Why does making money in a corporate job feel easier than earning as ourselves? This question perfectly captures a struggle so many face when transitioning to entrepreneurship or self-employment.
The answer lies deeper than mere confidence or skill. When we earn as our full selves, we experience a vulnerability that corporate structures shield us from. Standing behind a company logo means rejection feels less personal—it's the organization being rejected, not us. But when we put our own name and face forward, everything changes. The fear of judgment intensifies, and our nervous system responds accordingly.
