Deconstructing fears was a good thing for me this week. It helped me gain the courage needed to stop thinking and start acting. Because if all I was going to do was think about starting my photography business and not start it, I needed to just drop it. Facing my fears helped me feel like if something went wrong I could easily back out and try something different that works better.
I feel like this week was really centered on having the courage to just do it. To have the faith to step into the dark even if it's scary. It has really got my excitement up and motivation going to want to start my other business idea. And it's helped me feel like my first business has been a success and was a good decision for me.
I really liked the video that showed the three circles of what to look for in careers and business. One was, "What am I good at?" Another was, "What was I born to do?" and "Who will pay me to do it?" This made me think about what it was I really wanted to do, and what made me the happiest. Not just what would pay me the most. I came to the conclusion that even though quitting my job and starting my piano teaching business is earning me a little less money, I am so much more happy doing it. I'm excited to work now because I don't feel like it's working, I'm just playing with kids at the piano and teaching them what I absolutely love to do. It also made me realize that I have been waiting too long to start my photography business. I need to just up and do it and set aside my fears of people not liking my photos. If I don't try I won't know if I have photos people like or not. It is something I love to do. I am most happy when I'm at a piano or behind a camera, so why not try it? Now because of this week I am determined to try and find some clients willing to try out my artistic style and get going with my photography dream!
