I realized the other night that part of me has been scared of being successful.
Afraid of failing and not doing a good job.
Afraid that I lack the skills to really be a top wedding planner.
Because of this I tend to shy away from things that can further my business.
I avoid wedding shows on TV because I get jealous that I will not be as successful as the coordinators I see.
But...
I also realized that I should be proud of myself. I have done a good job. I coordinate top notch weddings without a hitch. I think I could hold my own against many other coordinators, they just happen to catch a "break".
My negativity will stop.
Why now?
Because my life is falling into place. I have the support of family and friends who truly believe in me. My husband gives me the opportunity to stay at home and enjoy my kids. I have a perfect sitter who lets me have 3 hours, 2 days a week to concentrate on bettering my business. I had a house cleaner come last week (and probably will come once a month) so that I am not so overwhelmed with keeping my house clean. I have a schedule.
More than anything, my confidence in myself has grown and I couldn't imagine doing anything else!!
I would say, "Wish me Luck" on my newfound focus, but whenever I say that to Chris before I leave for an event he says, "You don't need luck!"
