Chapters
Don't be afraid. I don't know if it's just me, but I find a lot when I have commitments I've made to other people that just before I'm supposed to go in and meet with them or call them or whatever it is, for some reason I kind of secretly hope they're going to cancel on me. I don't know why that is. You know, I just got off a Google+ Hangout with a mompreneur. She's got a new clothing line coming out. And we're having a few technical issues at the start, and I was kind of secretly hoping that we would postpone it to another time. And it ended up being a great chat, and it always is, you know, and now I feel great, you know, it took me, you know, 25-30 minutes of my time and she is so appreciative and her business is going to change because of it. It makes me feel great, you know, this is what I love doing. I love helping entrepreneurs. I love helping them make changes, and yet I was kind of secretly hoping that the call wouldn't happen for whatever reason. I don't know why I do this. I don't know if you guys do it too. What helps me is, is I, you know, first of all, by committing to other people, you have to, you have to go through with it because you've committed to them. So unless they cancel, you know, you don't want to be the one canceling. But then I also have to kind of remind myself that, hey, You like this stuff. You're going to feel great once it starts. So hopefully you learned something from that. You know, I guess this happens to all of us, or maybe I'm unique for whatever case, but you know, don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. Remember, this is what you're good at. Remember, this is what you love doing, and you're going to feel great once you're in it and afterwards. And keep pushing forward. Believe.
