What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Maybe you would write a book! I think Robert Kyosaki, author and money man, sums it up when he says, "when you tackle your fear and your laziness, you will find the key to your freedom." For me now, after having tackling so many fears for myself:

Leaving an abusive partner - so afraid of supporting myself and my one year old daughter financially and having a mortgage on my own
Falling in love again after my engagement so painfully ended- so afraid I would not survive the pain of loss should it end (which it did!);
Going to University when I was 30 - so scared that I would fail;
Getting a job after 7 years out of the workforce - so scared no one would hire me;
Standing up to a bully boss in my job who threatened to smash my head in - so afraid I would lose my job
Starting my own business - so afraid the phone would never ring;
...and now gradually leaving the business world to pursue my artistic expression..unsure...? fearful? if I can really leave the commerce world behind

but now I am not so sure I have too many fears left to truly hold me back - I have felt the fear and done it anyway. And as Susan Jeffers says: do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.

So going back to Robert's quote I am less sure it is about fear or laziness but more lack of focus and commitment to my heart's desire....

so I am back on track now and making up for time lost yesterday - I have finished the edits on The Challenge Your Fears Chapter and gearing up for edits to "Finance your Career"

I'm going to include the recently shared wisdom's of my friend Cho Chan who advocates leveraging off your assets to buy peace of mind and time prior to making a career move....this may horrify a few of you...but as an accountant Cho knows a thing or two!
