Making Lemonade

Redhead Erin:
Oh, thank you, all of you.  My community has so many great activities that people just don't take advantage of, and it would be so nice to help people get fit and try new things.  I also know a ton of people who have some kind of side-business and would love to be able to market to this crowd but dont always know where to find them. 

I have a ton of ideas running around in my head, but I tend to be the kind of person who gets ahead of myself. While I was driving by son back from the state fair I made up a list of stuff I have to do FIRST, in each of 4 areas of my life--website, homeschool, household organization, and business dream.  Now I need to just do what I have to do.

Yeah, I've heard this a lot about me, too. My response is, that it's the source of my motivation --  ;)

In experience, I've found that people in planning sessions get all bogged down in the details (and arguing over them) about how to do something -- BEFORE they even have a concrete idea of what they want to do. How does a person know what they want to do? They let themselves dream about, get excited about, and become connected to an idea that only exists in imagination... the future.

Even if that dream isn't all that clear or "set" or definite... without that emotional connection to "what could be"... it's always difficult to find a reason to bother with, put up with, work my way through... all the work and boring stuff (legal stuff, organization, etc) necessary to make it happen.

Just don't let the dreaming part become the only thing you do! (and that's probably what people mean, when they say "you're getting ahead of yourself").

You go, Erin -- pull the pieces of the picture together any way, in any order that makes sense to you... or as life allows -- and trust in your ability to know what, when, where and how... and knowing you can ask for help when you're not sure. The idea is worth you being up to the challenge! 

Good luck! (Luck doesn't hurt, either!)

:D
