Ive accepted the job + business path, a bit worried

[Jayson G]

I decided it no longer makes sense to stay at home. 

Being in my late 20s, I know I have to get out in the world, build a social life, travel, etc. 

My mom has a business analyst position, gotten people with no experience that, and she wants to help me get one. I'm excited. It pays 120k+ per year starting salary. I can see a great path of making money from this over time. 

It will be remote, so instead of 8 hours + 2 hours commute and all that, it'll be like 5 hours a day of solid work, but with breaks like 6.5. 

I plan to continue this business Im working on, its something not just for money but Im very passionate about, but until I get settled in the job I want to just do 10 minutes a day, then ramp it up to 2 hours a day in job when I'm comfortable, 5 hours on Saturdays then. 

A part of me just really wants to stay comfortable and not grind so much, but I don't have much of a choice either. I would probably get used to it, like jumping in an ocean and learning how to swim. 

I know I can do this path, of job + business, being in a new city, starting a new social life and all that, but I'm partly nervous. 

Has anyone taken on this path? especially from years of doing business to this job + business path? Anything I should expect? any insights to know, traps to be aware of? 

I'm a bit concerned because I've never worked for a big company. My mom says I have business analyst experience, which I see that I do, but I can't help but feel like an impostor right now since I haven't officially done it (like I've done it, but not as an official job position), and then going from a life of not much socializing to a lot of daily socializing seems intimidating. 

I've done these things before, just in a long time I've been just by myself, kind of away from the world, just working on this business. 

Yeah I just was curious if anyone has done something similar, and has any insights?

It's going to be a big shift for you. I'd say some nerves are definitely warranted.

But if you honestly can make 120k+ starting while working 5 hours a day remote, that's ridiculously good money and you need to take it.

It will set you up to handle your survival needs nicely.

Next priority would be continually drilling down on the specifics of your life purpose.

And if the company doesn't think you have the experience necessary to hire you, they won't. You will learn the vast majority of what you need on the job. So I wouldn't worry about that.
