K had a little question for me which made me analyze myself for a moment. She knows I have skills when it comes to the computer. She’s the main person to encourage me to run my own business when these companies won’t hire me. I usually shrug off the question with an 'I don’t know'.
Just last night she asked me what is it that keeps me from doing it and taking advantage of my life & opportunity. I realize my main obstacle is myself. I felt in truth it wasn’t the fear of success that kept me down it was the fear of not being successful that keeps me from acting. It’s something that sticks inside of my head that tells me that my skills are no different than any other person. Nowadays, people got people who can do ish like me. I wonder how can I get them over to my side and see what I can do for them. I’m not a real sales person, what chance would I have? I guess its negativity rearing its fugly head.
I took one of her suggestions to heart and decided to write down all my skills. I put all the talents I could do today first. Then I wrote others that I would need assistance or extra equipment. My 2nd step is to get off my ass and shake off my best friend Mr. Procrastination and do some projects I’ve been putting off. Creating an official business card will be one of the things I’ll complete. My 3rd step in my plans is to create a life business plan. I took this idea from India Arie. She explained that having a B plan for life will help become goal oriented and keep you away from those that make you stray.
There is more I want to do but I’m going to start with these 3 in the next 5-10 days. What it comes down to is I need to get my hunger back. I’ve developed too much hopelessness within me to get much of it back, so I’m gonna fight through it.

Just do it Sinro. Once you start, it'll be like a snowball. Getting bigger as it rolls down hill and becoming stronger with forward progress. You've got to come back and let us know how the plan is working out.

K's right man and this is a good plan, so stick to it as best you can. Understand there will be a speed bump or two, but if you press on you'll get there. Keep us updated on your success if you can find the time.

One of the few times I have to agree with her. Go for it, Sinro! You know you always have my support. Not only should shake off your friend Mr. Procrastination, you should give him a swift kick in the ass and out the door and possibly outta ur life!
