This is actually a bigger problem than most people would think. There's so much fear and misinformation out there that people will do anything to keep you from making changes. But what they fail to see is the price that one must pay for NOT making those changes. I feel like there's no worse agony in the world than being at a job for more than 8 hours a day, feeling miserable, and letting it affect the quality of life. Where's the success in that? Thanks for a thought provoking post! I enjoyed reading the story about the woman who was starting her business and needed to stand up to her family.

One thing you helped me realize is that owning my own business, letting go of the comfort/security of a salary, having to grow comfortable with what was once discomfort, as a business owner, has helped me so much to learn who I want to be as a human being. It has also helped me to become who I want to be. Yes, there has been great resistance. Yes there has been fear of "Where will the next dollar come from?", yes some times I want to crawl up in a hole and have someone else do it for me. But I persevere. I grow. I change. I become a better, happier person because of it. Having my own business has definitely brought out all of the fears I had, that had managed to remain dormant until then. But how better else to grow beyond them then to address them head on? Sometimes I still yern for a steady paycheck. But the truth is, I would never want it any other way than doing what I love, and loving what I do, for a living. Martin,
