Ok. What the heck is wrong with me?
If you can create an invention that helps people, write a patent for it, receive 100% stellar client responses with rave reviews, have bootstrapped it and don’t owe anyone anything to get this far… why can’t I dive off the board to make it from little hobby business to REAL?
I have total confidence it it and just can’t make the jump. Why am I so scared to do it? Because then I can’t fail? What psycho-babble is that? I am telling myself that I need to take an entrepreneur course, but then am I just making it where I am doing anything but what I need to do? Jeez.
All the business networking groups seemingly concentrate on services (like accounting, coaching, house cleaning…) or IT and I don’t fit into those categories.
Sigh, what is wrong with me. I do catch myself saying to me things like “Well what do you know about business, you trained in soils, geomorphology and archaeology, not business…” which doesn’t help at all. Then I think to myself, well you have been able to do all these things but then the nagging self starts in… sigh.
The day job I have had this year makes meabsolutely wrecked at the end of the day due to compassion fatigue and just want to curl up and let my fear make it where I cant take the next steps.
To quote Eleanor Roosevelt, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.”
That is what I must do. But how do I begin?
