Being excited & scared is a really good sign - especially when you're so excited that it tells the scared to "Scram!" or "Who cares about you anyway, fear? I'm SO excited!" At least that's what my excitement tells my fear. But even though everyone is looking to eliminate that fear, it can absolutely be used as a motivator to ensure that you're laying the groundwork to conquer what you're scared about. For me, I'm scared of not making enough money as a full-time coach & having to go back to a "esk job". So, I'm building my nest egg to ensure that the first few months of coaching will enable me to keep going on my own, regardless of how many clients I have. I know that my back-up plan, should I need more money, is to get a job waiting tables or hostessing in my neighborhood for less than a handful of shifts a week. That's not too terrible since it allows me to get some extra cash, doesn't have my exert too much mental energy, & will still give me the space & time I need to devote to my coaching. Keep me posted on the 2010 changes, Katy! Ooh, exciting! Aw, thanks Katy!

I am sensing change in my future, and it's exactly the type of change that requires taking off my comfy pajamas. I'm excited and a little scared at the same time. Can't wait to see what happens!

Though i've taken it to the extreme of doing all i possibly can to do the things i have in mind, and spend every day working towards these things, its paid off in a big way, i've got to travel the world, get a degree, and spend a few years living by the coast. I found maybee i socialize less then most as i work often but because of early choices i've chosen a field i can enjoy. The trips to see friends that live in other countries, and the networking events i go to where i meet new faces, and get involved in things, makes the work worth it!. like you said Also Change!!! its great, do things spur of the moment, not everything costs a lot of money! i took up knitting, and went every week for about 10 months! i'm on a break from it now, but will be taking it up again in the new year.. also thinking of doing a salsa dancing or yoga class, i'm no way going to be good at it! but its the interesting people i will meet, and the avenues that will take me down that makes it exciting to me, also its out of something i would naturally do. optimistic is something that helps ever so much!. anyway i blabbel.. again i say! nice article! great thoughts!
