How much research did you do before you made
your move?
I
conducted TONS of research before I got started! And I have all the binders of data from the
last 15 years to prove it. Fear of
failure prevents me from taking a step without analysis.
What
did your friends say when you told them about your dream?
My
friends all claim to have predicted that I would do what I’m doing. I don’t recall anyone being shocked.
Did you have any people who did not believe
in you?
I had
one family member that said “no one in our family has ever done anything like
this. I guess if you fail, you can say
you tried.” I’m not sure if that was
meant to be negative, but it did sound a bit like they didn’t believe in me.
Did you have moments of doubts about what
you wanted to do, and how did you overcome it?
I did
and do. It typically occurs when I forget
that my life is not my own. God has
chosen the path for me and sometimes I feel that I’m not worthy or
capable. But strength and encouragement
comes from my wonderful friends and family, which puts me back on track.
What did you do to stay motivated through
the process?
I
visualized my success to stay motivated.
I often thought about how my success would benefit my family.
Did you ever get down on yourself because
you felt like you were not making progress?
Yes.
What advice would you give the person who
is reading this blog and has been hesitant about granting themselves the
permission to succeed?
Imagine
what your life would be like if you DON’T pursue the success you want. Now imagine what your life would be if you
achieved it. When you compare the two,
isn’t it worth trying?
Five years from now what’s your dream? Five
years ago where did you want to be and are you closer or have you achieved your
dream?
I am
definitely not where I imagined I’d be five years ago, BUT I am exactly where I
need to be. My dream has grown and
shrunk, all at the same time. Five years
from now I hope to have learned more about myself and have used my strengths to
benefit others.
What advice or motivation would you like to
leave the readers about giving yourself permission to succeed?
It is
hard to give yourself to succeed if someone else defined what success is for
you. Once you have truly defined what
success means to you personally AND WHY, then you will have given yourself
permission to achieve it.
