I've been wrestling with the thought of starting my own business now for a couple of years. I haven't done it because I was under the impression that one must first have a ton of cash and that I had to be a college graduate. Well, now doesn't that just make me sound silly! If I had lots of money and was a college graduate I probably wouldn't need to start my own business. All I really need is the confidence.
You see, I have this problem. I look to others for approval as a false sense of confidence. This is something I have just recently realized about myself and happens to be something I didn't want to see, but something I need to deal with. For instance, I would clean and organize a closet and beg someone to look at it just so they would say it looked great. So, for me to start my own business means I have to lose that baggage.
I want to be able to put my kids through college and take trips to see my family. I want to make my own hours, be my own boss, and be responsible for my own actions. I want to be successful and proud of what I do and who I am without the need of approval from anyone else.
Anyway...
I have decided to chase my dreams, so to speak. To take that advice that pastor once gave to "Let go and let God."
There is no such thing as failure.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
