Start and Stop...over and over.

Have you ever had a great idea, like start a small business? You write down all of your ideas, start to buy the supplies, and have those dreams of when you'll start cashing in those large paydays? Yeah, me too. The thing is I have great ideas, I have the skill to do things but then "real" life gets in the way and I find reasons to postpone or throw in the towel. I know I can't be the only one...am I? I have a love of makeup and beauty. I love to craft. I'm hyper-organized and I like to think people relate to me. Why then can't I keep up the enthusiasm to get my businesses off the ground? I woke up this morning and realized it's simply a fear of failure.
I've always excelled at everything I've "set out" to do in life. Meaning I've only tried things I knew I'd be good at. It's the safe path. The secure one. The one that comes with a steady paycheck and a group of coworkers that often tell me how wonderful I am and how I deserve a raise. It's like I love the struggle of working a job that only partially fulfills me and then I take the accolades to make up for the part of me that hates waking up in the morning. I can't keep doing this. I can feel "it" killing my creativity and my mental well-being. So I'm starting yet again and I'm hoping that putting this out into the world I reach people out there that are in the same boat or want to keep a gal accountable.
This life needs a reboot...so here I go...CTRL+ALT+DELETE...
