At the beginning of the year, I try to think of a word to be my focus for the year. Sort of like an abbreviated New Year’s resolution. It’s getting close to the end of January and it finally hit me.
I was talking to a friend about starting my business last week.
She said, “How do you do that?” Aren’t you scared?”
I said, “I’m terrified!” and I shrugged. “But I do it anyway.”
anyway…
How many times does inspiration strike or you think of a dream only to let your stress or worry get in the way? What dreams would you pursue if fear/stress/worry was not a factor? What would happen if you just acknowledged the fear, acknowledged it and ignored it, and then did it anyway?
“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and the confidence will follow.”

I’m afraid I don’t know how to run a business.
I’m afraid I’ll fall on my face.
I’m afraid if I write this no one will read it.
But….I’ll do it….
anyway
