However, as someone who quit a very well-paying sales & marketing job to start a video production business, I will add that we also need to consider a strategy when our inner pendulum tugs in the entrepreneurial direction.

Many people find their dreams shattered after a few months because they had the passion and the drive but failed to develop a marketing strategy or business plan.

Social media makes it so much easier to promote one’s business if your efforts are concentrated to the ideal prospect. And there is so much great information freely available to the new entrepreneur.

So don’t fear to attempt – just have a plan.

Nuff said.

(Bye, Gary) That was personal. Sorry.

It was great to meet you at SOBCon, and be on the panel with Wendy. Yes, that is such smart advice she had: to trust the pendulum. Thanks for blogging about this topic again. It’s a great post-conference reminder.

Even when I don’t feel 100% confident, I can “make” things happen and act courageously to step into the fear. However, I’m not so good at trusting that inner voice inside me. On my better days when I can remember, I write down the ideas that bubble up or I make a point to capture dreams I have at night so I can later think/process more of this inner direction.

thanks,
Marcia
