Daily Share – I’m Doing It Anyway!

January 22, 2013 by Anonymous TDL Reader 6 Comments

Recently, Mastin talked about what you have to give up in order to gain. I’m starting a small business. So far the sacrifices of time, staying in all weekend to work out plans and write lists and project budgets instead of going for brunch, have been easy. What I struggle with is giving up my sense of security and knowing. This is incredibly hard. I have no idea how to launch a small business. I don’t know if I’m insane to think I can. I don’t know if people will respond to it when I get it off the ground. I know nothing. And I’m doing it any way. It freaks me out. I’d like to say that I naturally trust this process, but I don’t. All I know for sure is that if I don’t pursue this project, a part of me, the insides part, will die.

Keep at it. I started writing a book and I decided this year I was going to publish it. My deadline is April 13th. I don’t know if one single person is going to read it. I am ok with that. The important thing is that I had a goal, I put my mind to it, I did it with all the love I have in me, and my hope is to help one person. If one person reads it and discovers something about themselves, I am happy.

Now that does not make me rich and I might have to keep my job for years and years while I write other books. I’m also ok with that. I actually like my job so it does not make me anxious. Now you decided to pursue a business, congratulations on that. You struggle with giving up your sense of security. I can understand that. Think about it this way: there is no security in life. We might think that we are secure doing something else. We really are not. The whole point of life is living from one moment to the next, not knowing what next is.

You are doing a great thing for yourself. Keep at it.

Try checking with your state’s State university (Land-Grant College)…most have a department to help small business owners…and it is FREE!!

If you knew how to do it, it would probably take all the fun away. Isnt it the adventure that sense of stepping outside what is familar and feeling alive. I read this great quote and I try to live by it “dont be desperate – be determined” . What ever happens with your business be determined to enjoy the whole experience.

Keep going!! You have made the commitment to yourself. It’s about fulfilling what the heart wants. You will be fine. Keep pushing forward and believing in you and your dream. I’m sending good thoughts to you and all the success I know will be coming your way.

Keep going! If it was easy, you would have lots of competition! Remember this always. It’s easy to be a follower, be a leader, surround yourself with other business people – stay away from wage slaves – they will bring you down and make you question what your doing – just to make themselves fell good. I count Richard Branson, Steve Jobs, Tony Robbins ect as mentors I.e they don’t have to be in the same room to be a mentor. Oh and just keep going, these simple words have picked me up many a time in business. Just keep going. Ps I’m qualified to say this, 15 yrs business experience. 2 x global first products/service I am also humble so I don’t need to tell you details other than its successful xx love and light to you

I’m in the same situation. I’m starting a new business too and it feels scary. Will I ever find a client? But I’m doing it anyway because something inside of me keeps telling me to do it. I regret a lot about things I didn’t do. And this one, it’s not gonna be one of them.
