Do NOT Be afraid of the dough

I have been trying to cut expenses.

The overall slowing of the economy has touched me. I am sure you can relate.

One of the things I have learned to do, when increasing revenue is not an immediate option, is to cut expenses. And one of my biggest expenses is my apartment… maybe I could get a room-mate… I have 3 rooms I don’t use…

The second biggest expense is my internet… hosting my sites. My total internet bill almost matches my rent… which is too much.

Now that I am finding it harder and harder to pay my bills…

Anyway, I have dozens of partially developed businesses and business ideas. All good, all different, vastly different from my current business. Not that there is anything wrong with my current business, but it has this invisible glass ceiling of “barely making a living” and my clientele doesn’t like to spend money with me… they rather give it to other people or spend it on junk…

Every night I go to bed and ask my soul to go and scout the beyond for answers: which plan shall I put all my efforts into… which one will I love to do… which one will I succeed at. Or maybe there is a plan I haven’t even thought of?

I want to go for the sure killing. I am afraid to fail.

Interesting how much people change… I used to be fearless. I used to be famous and known for my courage… envied by a lot of people.

Now, if it were not so commonplace being a coward… otherwise know as reasonable, I would be famous for my cowardice, my hesitancy, my trying-to-hold-onto-what-I have.

Today I had a call with one of my mentors. She is less than half my age, doesn’t know half of what I know, still, during every weekly call, she manages to say just the thing I need to hear for that week. I spend the first 25 minutes fighting her, and then she says what she says, I calm down, and get freed up, at least for another week.

This week she said: Don’t be afraid of the dough!

A mentor of hers shared with her, that he was once invited to a bakery to play with the dough, make it whatever shape he wanted, and then they would bake his creation for him to take home.

He knew that the dough may collapse if he works it too much, so he was barely touching it. That is when the baker said that famous –Don’t be afraid of the dough. Shape it, form it, do stuff with it. If it goes bad, you’ll get another piece and will work with that.

Walt Disney went bankrupt seven times before he got it right and created his billion dollar Disneyland.

Walt Disney had the right idea, but maybe he got to the right idea through allowing himself to mess up.

So maybe I should start my internet marketing kindergarten… what do you think?
