I felt the same way about 8 years ago and then saw this…“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” by mark twain. It got to where I woke up at night thinking about it. What if I didn’t follow my heart and twenty years later regretted it. I painted it on my office wall, stopped doing design which I had done for almost 20 years and went for it.

For me, it was always the fear that held me back. It’s amazing to learn to do inspite of the fear. I have absolutely zero regrets…it’s not always easy, I work so much harder, but I love every single minute of it. Go for it, you won’t regret it

I'm starting a business right now, too, and hear the same voices…this sounds so familiar to me. Trying to remind my self that the time will pass whether I do this or not, and so maybe I should actually make it happen.

Wishing you all the best…sounds like you have it coming to you.

I believe in you, too! I hear what you're saying -- I feel the fear, as well, on the projects I feel called to do and am worried about failure.

Maybe we should cheer each other on and we'll conquer our fears that way! xo

I know you can do it. And rock the hell out of it too.

I know exactly how you feel. I have so many ideas and projects started, but I've discovered the fear of failure is what keeps me from moving forward.

You can do this....and so can I (I think).

You can do eeeeet! I feel the same way with my little biz, but it's something I love to do and I do have one client. I don't know if I'll ever get another, but I have to try. Just take one step at a time and know you have this huge support system in the internet!
