What Causes Difficulty In Making Decisions Resulting In A Career Related Dilemma?
Question: Dear Sir,
My Problem is related to Career related Dilemma, confusion, not able to decide what to do in near future. Which is solely Mind related?
I am 28 years old, I have completed MBA (Marketing) on 2016 and has been doing the job since Dec-2016. My problem is that I don’t want to continue with my Jobs, That is not what I am looking for. Though my performance has not been downgraded as I am not allowing my performance to be the downgrade. But I am not enjoying the job, I am a Digital Marketing Executive, I do have a very keen interest on Digital Marketing. I wanted to do something of my own self but not been figured it out completely. I kept on thinking on that but not been able to come up with an idea what to do.
I have been staying alone on a rented flat from last one and the half year, I spent most my time on Job besides that I spent the remaining time with study books, blogs, and news every day. At morning I usually do exercise 45 minutes every day, Take homemade food green vegetables, high protein foods, I don’t have any bad habits neither I smoke nor I drink. I don’t have any health-related issues so far.
My problem is that I am not able to figure it out whether I will continue with my jobs, quit the current jobs and start to look for another job but the things are that I have to have no interest on jobs. I am doing it for the sake of killing time and learn something. But the main motto is to start something and doing something on my own.
These thoughts are getting heavy on me on each passing day, I also think that my age is on the higher side to do something on my own. Though I don’t have the financial crisis, I do have a back-up in terms of financial support. But I am afraid if I will fail then I will lose the money. Also, the plan and idea are not been coming out easily what to do in future.
My goal is to start something on my own but no plan has been prepared yet cannot decide what to do, as I don’t have a mentor to ask what I should do, in this process, so much time has already been wasted.
My mental condition not been much in bad condition but those thoughts frequently coming to my mind every morning and every night before going to bed. If this will continue then I am very much sure that I will be mad sooner.
Therefore kindly give me some genuine suggestions and help me out from this mess.
Regards.

1-I do have fear of failure, as I don't have much experience on the field, which I am planning to do something.
2-Some of my friends started something on their own some time ago and I am comparing myself to them. I started to think that if they have started then why not me?
3-I am not my making up my mind what shall I do? Shall I go with my decision or shall I continue to do something else?

Brief Answer:
I always suggest you to go with your mind and don't compare with others
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query twice in detail, through that I can only understand that you are having difficulty in decision making about your career.
I would suggest you to think twice, or do some basic ground work required to start anything on your own . If you don't have any basic idea, better not to go with own business.
Always doing job will be on safer side.
So, finally it is you, who have to decide whether you wanted to achieve great heights in your life or you can satisfy with whatever you have.
I mean to say that it depends on your threshold level of satisfaction.
I can suggest you not to compare with your friends in this aspect, as the situation may not be similar for everyone of us.

Dear Ma'am,
Thanks Again!
1-I am really facing a severe problem of decision making about my career.
I do have the basic idea and I do have knowledge also. But the problem is that I am not able to think about where to start. I do have only primary knowledge.
2-Coming to the financial problem though I don't have much problem in that. I do have the support of my family and they are always behind me.
3-The job which I am doing is not what I wanted to do. My aim to achieve great height and I won't stop until I achieved it. I won't see my self to on the safer side by doing jobs, which is not my cup of tea actually.
4-The other major problem is that though I have some interest in a particular field and some knowledge, I am really confused what to do next, I mean no proper vision I would say.
5-Do I need some expert advice? Should I do some research and do some job on that particular industry to gain some deep insight how a business is being operated by the specific area of my interest?
6-Do I need some course like entrepreneurship/Business related course to start something of my own?
I do hope Ma'am, you will clarify my confusions and provide me the details suggestions and guidances which I am desperately looking for.
Thanks Again!
