THE "IN BETWEEN"
Have you ever wished you could go from Point A to Point B and
not have to worry about the "in between?
Just as a silly example it's 4:00 in the afternoon and you
realize that it's close to dinner time and you have no dinner
for the family!
Point A you need dinner prepared and Point B having it ready on
time and on the table! And the "in between" being lack of
motivation to get dressed, lack of energy to get in your car,
drive to the store, buy the dinner, stand in line to pay for it,
drive home, unload the groceries, and finally prepare the
dinner! Whew...what an effort...but the end result is that you
would have a great meal!
Wouldn't it be terrific if we could just snap our fingers,
wiggle our noses and poof...it would all get done. The "in
between" would take care of itself! Great concept but
unfortunately not too realistic - unless of course you are a
genie!
Very often we let our fears, lack of energy and motivation, get
in the way of the "in between." We stop ourselves from achieving
our desired goals and doing what we really want because we are
so overwhelmed by the sheer process of just getting from Point A
to Point B. We have good intentions, great ideas, we want to
succeed, and we have big dreams but we are stuck in the "in
between."
In business especially, I think we have all been a victim of our
own fears and self doubts at one time or another. In today's
world of high tech computers and ever-changing Internet
technology the "in between" can be terribly confusing,
mindboggling and a scary place to be!
For me, the "in between", was 3 years ago when I learned how to
turn on my computer. Just trying to imagine being on line,
starting a business and trying to make money, was something I
could not even fathom let alone be a part of. But now 3 years
later I view the "in between" a totally new way. It's still
scary and I still make mistakes ( some whoppers!!!) but I have a
whole new confidence and energy that I never had before.
I've learned it's ok to ask questions...many many questions,
even the silliest ones! I've learned that there are some pretty
terrific people out there in this "computer land" that are more
than willing to help you on your journey and I've learned that
eventually everything does make sense!
So if you're just coming on line, starting a new business,
joining a new program, creating a new website, or even starting
your own newsletter, don't be afraid of the " in between." Just
remember to stay focused, don't get discouraged, have faith in
yourself, ask lots of questions and you will see that the
dreaded "in between" will take care of itself.
