Focus on "you"!!!

It is so easy to become sidetracked and lose focus on your goals.  Working for yourself takes more then just discipline, it takes the right attitude.  Don't let yourself get caught up in all the "what if's", "buts", or "maybe's".  We can easily let someone decide our future for us when we give in to these words.  How many times has someone talked you out of what you want?  Here is an example of what I mean.

Julie is wanting to go back to school to become a docter but she wants kids also.  She is married and is 33 years old already and doesn't want to have kids after age 36.  She is aware that it will take hard work and many years of studying to become a docter. She is also aware that being a mother takes a lot of work also.  She is willing to sacrifice anything to make both work.  She talks it over with her husband and he gets excited to support her decision but is concerned about it.  Julie decides to sit down, put together some goals and share it with her family & friends for further support.  While discussing it with her sister, her sister asks why she would want to do both.  Julie explains her determination but was followed with, well...What if after having the baby you realize it needs more attention then planned? Julie says well then I would ajust my schedule.  So then her sister says, well what if you do that but your schedule doesn't work with baby or there are no classes at night?  Julie then explains that she would then go part time and take more the following semester.  Well then her sister says...what if you have twins or triplets?  What if one gets sick? What if after spending all that money to become a good docter and you fail because you have kids and you start to blame them?...  This is where Julie decides not go back to school and have her kids first because she didn't want to miss her chance to have them and gave up the opportunity to go back to school.

What you think you can do, you can.  What you think you can't, you can't.  What you become is up to you, so do yourself a favor and don't listen to anything less then what kind of person you truely can become when you let go of your fears! Dream Big, dream often!!!
