Tonight on this first night of Spring I sit in my office and reflect on the how this year had unfolded for me. Spring is time of new beginnings, fresh starts and the end of the first quarter for many of us. I just completed the paperwork for my LLC. Making the transition from a Sole Proprietor to single person LLC is HUGE for me. It shows growth, it shows commitment, it shows TO ME a new level of responsibility that I never imagined I would have.
I am learning to respect the feelings of fear and self doubt because they do have a place in life and business. They are teaching me that I really don’t need to second guess myself because I have everything that I need to succeed already inside of me just like you already do.
The fear is telling me that I need to step up and face what I have been running from. All of my life I have had 2 major fears…Fear of money and fear of giving up my independence. I never committed to a budget of any type. I just knew what I had coming in and paid bills but never had a set goal in place. Over the last few weeks especially with this LLC filing happening I had to make a mind set shift, I took an excel workshop and learned how to create spreadsheets and all of that Fancy stuff. It has been so liberating!!! My second fear of giving up my independence is more about time management and organization. I have made the commitment to MYSELF that I would stop hiding behind busy and become more productive. I will commit to running my home and business as they should be. They need to be honored for what they are, places filled with love and happiness. Gifts from God which provide substance for me and my family. Self Doubt, fear and unnecessary busy work will no longer reside here. I promise to work my tail off, and enjoy my life. To respect myself and my business to know when to say when.
Sit back and enjoy a cup of coffee and think about these things. Feel free to share your thoughts as well. I’d love to hear how you are honoring yourself.
