The Fear of Success


Fair warning: This is a personal post. I never claimed that this would be a strictly professional blog, only that it would chronicle my journey of owning my own business and share some fun stuff along the way.

It has come to my attention that I am somewhat afraid of success. I'm being real with you here, so try to hang with me. Maybe it's laziness, I don't know, but I was encouraged by someone who loves me lots to take out my first ad. The first thought to my mind was, "What if I get, like, 10 inquiries? I can't handle that kind of load!"

Why, exactly, am I holding back? I do work about 35 hours each week at a regular, old, boring job. I feel like at the end of the work day, I'm just not at my best to buckle down and call vendors, write floor plans, or promote my passion.

Then, all of my critics come to mind and I hear them saying, "Well, you must not want it that bad. Maybe you should just be a teacher or a nurse." Forget that!

This is a public declaration of intent. Planning is what I love, and with the grace of God I will be successful! Watch out world, I'm coming with full force!
