What if?
Categories :
When making a decision one question stands out: What if? This question can stop progress or fuel it.
In deciding to update my business, this question is common. My site, Office Wife, continues to undergo a make over. It seems to go with the times. New technology, evergreen content, changes to the most common forms of content. Everything is in a constant state of flux.
What if? Find the Answer
My primary purpose is to inform, educate, and inspire. I second guess and rewrite, delete and rewrite again. Always striving for perfection. The primary question in my mind: What if? I forgot one very important idea, “What Ifs” will make you crazy!
Perfection is a cat chasing it’s tale. Occasionally the cat catches it’s tale, only to release it and begin the chase over again.
My question to you is this, are you interested in operating a business from home? Yes or No! That simple. No “Yeah buts,” or other rationalizations. It is always a yes or no answer.
Our programming begins early, a need to explain every answer, motive and action. I am well trained to justify and defend. I will think an idea to death, then tell the world until they roll their eyes at me and turn a deaf ear. Never believing that I will take action.

Every thing I have read collected dust, do not do what I did and let fear stand in your way. You can what if yourself to the streets. Poor, tired and well, you know the rest!
I understand the difficulty in getting motivated. Always searching for something, or someone that will be in your corner. There are thousands out there that will work with you, guide you and coach you. I do not know about you, but I cannot go it alone.
The one common piece of advice is to find the one thing you enjoy doing, not want to do, but enjoy doing. For me it is coaching, living, educating, creating and reading. These are my top five, they all led me to write.
