I would have thought it would be either because they:
Don’t think they can afford it
Need the benefits
Don’t have an idea for a business
Don’t know what to do
Are scared to fail
Are worried about other people’s opinions (their families’, mainly)

Do you really know how to ground yourself?
In the last post, I gave myself good reasons why I should make it a priority to ground myself. Yours might be slightly different, but being heart-based entrepreneurs, we’re likely to have similar ideas.
There are a number of popular techniques designed to help you ground yourself which you’ve likely heard:

Being grounded; why bother?
How many times have you heard the advice to “be more grounded”. It’s one of those motherhood statements that you agree with but don’t always remember to implement.

Getting a handle on your desk clutter: treat yourself like a guest
I recently had a guest stay for a few days and she slept in my office which occasionally doubles as a guest room.
She marveled at how clutter-free my desk was and asked that I write a blog post on how I kept it that way.
Well…I don’t. I cleaned it up in order to give her [...]
The best way to stretch your comfort zone
At yoga class today, I heard something that reminded me of what new entrepreneurs go through.
We were doing an exercise that was designed to open up our hip joints. First, we went through a movement that contracted the same muscles that we would stretch a moment later.
The instructor said that the joints would be willing [...]
Worried about this or that? Read this
