To GO or Not to Go
I added a new stream of passive and residual income to my life last fall. At the very same time I underwent a lot of big transitions on many different levels: personal, family, and business. As I've mentioned a few times, it's been a bit of a roller coaster. Nothing unexpected, but intense none the less.
In the ups and downs I've been debating whether or not to attend a big event in Los Angeles for the new company. With all the transition I haven't gone full in, so the question of whether to go or not was stirring all kinds of excuses and fear:
It's too far.
I'm not ready to travel from the kids again.
We don't have the money.
I can grow my business without going.
I haven't made enough yet to justify the expense.
...
This literally went on for months, until- BAM, it hit me. My thought changed, and when my thought changed, my everything changed. It changed so much that I got a STELLAR price on a ticket and a roommate within hours of deciding.
Now I'm SOOOOO excited. Once I changed the thought, the excitement flooded in. All the excuses and fears we clogging up my wheels.
