BEING AFRAID

What is afraid? The New Webster's Comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language defines afraid as impressed with fear or apprehension; reluctant; fearful. Well that describes my emotion concerning my new venture. I feel apprehensive regarding my ability to start and operate my own home based business. I keep thinking why am I so apprehensive after all this is a totally positive venture. OK I know it is possible to loose my initial investment but I don't really think this is the source of my fear. after all my investment win or loose will not break me. I think I feel so very venerable because I don't feel that I have a back up. I always planned my life so as to have a back up plan and safety nets in as many places as possible. This time I realize I have no safety net.

I am fearful also because my husband is so confident that I can just about do anything I put my mind to and I guess I don't want to feel like a failure to him as well as to myself.

I realize that many persons like myself have started and successfully run home based businesses and of course I am capable of the same. I just need to put away any of my self doubts and think on a more positive mode. Time to start speaking to myself in a more positive and affirmative manner. I know I can be my very best friend or the worse enemy in the world. I here right now choose to be the very best friend I can be to me.

My home business will be the selling of kitchenware, such as dinnerware, coffee makers and espresso machines, cutlery, as well as recipe books.

I am a great cook and know many short cuts in the kitchen which is invaluable to the busy home chefs. I know how to deliver what is needed and I am up on what people want and desire. I love entertaining small and large groups and know just what it takes to be a successful hostage. These are just some of my products I will make available to the public.

I must push ahead with my plan. I will discuss in my next visit why this is so vital.
