This is absolutely true. This should not be an overwhelming fear, though. Any investment in oneself involves some risk, if only a risk of spending time and effort. This is rarely worthless, because at worst you find out that the venture wasn't for you, and you learn from it. At best, you become wildly successful, quit your day job, and have more money than you know what to do with. As long as the risks aren't uninformed, it's a good thing to try things out.
