Can you say FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!

Last week I felt I had it all figured out. I even posted yesterday about my 3 month focus and my goals. Then yesterday I was once again confronted with the reality that no one thinks I should just focus on my writing. Do I suck that bad? Even though it makes me wonder, I know it’s not really that. As my best friend said to me, it’s more about the fact that people don’t really understand why I would take my years of education and my already moderate success at consulting and trade it in for the unknown of selling fiction books and my Chiczofrenic platform. Because I want to doesn’t seem to be a satisfying response for many. Why do I even care? Probably because of my own insecurities of the writing gig. There is safety in what you know and I have a lot of student loans and a piece of paper that says I’m an expert. Why don’t I just do it all? Because I have tried that juggling act of doing a million different things and while I managed it for a while I burnt out and just don’t want to go down that road again.
Now with all that said there is some validity to what people say so maybe I should try to “figure it out”.
A blog post I re-read today by Chris Guillebeau has helped me put some of those negative thoughts about following my dream rather than my skill, back down where they belong. There is no room for doubt.
Today I will focus on building success….you do the same!
