I'm Scared! I Can't Do That!




By Liz Folger

You ask anyone what they felt when they started their first business and you're going to get about the same responses....excited, nervous and the most popular, scared to death. It's hard to look at another person who has a successful home business and believe that, at one time, they were starting out just like you are right now. Fortunately, they didn't give in to that little voice that says things like, "You can't do it", "You don't have what it takes", "People will laugh at you if you fail..."

Several winters ago I took my two daughters skiing where hey had their very first skiing lesson. My oldest daughter was able to take two lessons in one day and made a lot of progress. She wanted to go on the chair lift so bad I decided to take her.

Before I knew it we were sitting on the lift headed for the top. All of a sudden I wondered what the heck I was doing? How would I get her off this lift? What if the chair operator at the top decided to take a break and wasn't there to slow the chair down a little and maybe even help her off. To say the least, I was freaked.

We get to the top and there was someone there who helped us out. Then we started down the run. It was one of those experiences you have as a mom, that makes you really happy you're a mom. Here's my five year old daughter going down the ski slope with me. Sure she fell a few times but each time she got up she'd say, "Mom, I love this. This is so much fun. I don't want to go home."

Needless to say, when we reached the bottom of the hill I was the proudest mom there. It was an incredible experience. It was even more incredible, I think, because of the fact that I was so scared about taking her on the lift. I just didn't know how it would turn out.

Starting a business is very similar. You just don't know what's going to happen, but if you give in to that negative voice -- you'll never know how it will turn out, because you never took that ride to the top. You'll never feel that joy of accomplishment. And that's a feeling you don't want to miss out on.
