Just do one thing at a time. Here's my general process:

switch email, and forward everything from the old one to the new one (I use my own domain name, but paid hosting)
get into self-hosting, and slowly replace services I use w/ self-hosted ones
get friends and family to switch to privacy-friendly services to communicate w/ me

And so on. Just do one thing at a time, and continue until you're happy with it.

Yup, but it's possible if you get them one by one. They can keep their old stuff, just use the new one with you.
