But, this had me tearing up… “Don’t beat on yourself. It’s hard enough to get the confidence to make mistakes and to build a business in the first place. You don’t need someone punching you in the face the entire time.”

I’d have to agree. If you beat up yourself, it’s one thing. But to have someone ELSE punching you in the face the entire time, well, that’s just unforgivable. Obviously, an emotional post for me, too.

In other words, surround yourself with positive, like-minded people, and avoid negative people.

You get from life what you give to life.

I’m taking a break now to digest this deep thinking phase of my day.

Thanks, Nicole, for the interesting, ass kicking post. Geez… your mother must have done something right to have you for a daughter. 😀

Thanks Nicole 🙂

LOL – I’ll buy the matching bra or cami!

It reminds me of an article I wrote a while ago, “Procrastinatoritis and Self-Esteem Dropsy.” Like your post, my article centered on the “get ‘er done” now instead of letting all the roadblocks keep you from being a success.

Thank you for the reminder to keep moving forward, even if everything isn’t “just so.” Who’s to say what “just so” is anyway? 🙂

Thanks for this article!

I think I’m going to sew this in some pretty red undies and mail it to you
