Lately, I have found myself over-analyzing just about everything. "It" has made its presence known particularly as I try to develop my own business ideas. Regardless of why I do it, I believe the more important question is, what can I do to correct the bad habit, and increase life satisfaction.
I've been working on a project that requires me to call a few local businesses for quotations and estimated costs. (Now, let me just say, I avoid making phone calls—just as you would avoid the plague. Okay, I am exaggerating. Here's a more accurate dilemma: I will only call my closest friends if I can't find a way to explain myself through text messaging.)
Part of being an entrepreneur, is living as "a person who is willing to help launch a new venture or enterprise and accept full responsibility for the outcome." (Wikipedia, 2012, para.1). I want to point out the fact that success is not a factor, here. I even believe that the product/service idea being new, has nothing to do with being an innovator. Rather, how you present the idea, is what makes a difference. Notice how businesses always have some direct or indirect competitors. Whether they know about these competitors is a different story.
Returning to the initial purpose of this post; I want to correct or at least cope with my fear. Avoidance postpones the inevitable. Why should I spend all that extra time on worrying about what to say? Relax and it will come to me when I am in that moment. Maybe my problem has nothing to do with "getting fixed," but perhaps my problem lies with leaving my past behind and learning to create a new future of possibilities—ones that don't stem from the premise of fear and expectations.
So, am I ready to leave my past feelings of embarrassment behind? We shall see!
