It's not easy putting yourself out there when you start a business. You are letting everyone know who you are, what you stand for, and then pray they buy what you're selling. You get told no. A lot. You get passed by. A lot. And sometimes, truth be told, it makes you (ok, me) wanna climb into a hole and quit.
BUT...(This is bound to come up in conversation if you talk with me long enough.)
Author, professor, and sociologist, Brene Brown, has changed the way I think about life, relationships, and the kind of human I want to be. She does all sorts of writing about Vulnerability and its counterpart Shame. I've learned so much about acting out of courage, or "whole-heartedness" rather than fear by reading everything I can get my hands on by her.
I thought it would be a good day to share with you what keeps me climbing back out of that hole when I get shy or a bruised ego and feel like quitting. It's this talk and the desire to live my life whole-heartedly.
