Yes, I am… I've been looking at various online business models, and know that's the direction I want to go. Just this morning I woke up with a niche idea to pursue to get started, too! NOW I'm getting excited!

What about you? Any idea what you would like to move on to?

In today's economy, some fear is good. Are you spending your time when you're not “on the clock” to find new jobs that better fit with where you want to be headed?

Wow, Elizabeth…awesome post! And I love what you said in your comment to Gina.

“I've noticed that the bigger I choose to play, the more fear it stirs up – which is a good sign of whether I'm being fully self-expressed or not “

And you've given me some things to really look at deeply:

Are you telling a safe, “politically correct” version of your message? Or, settling for a lukewarm, toned-down personal brand?
Are you putting off writing that book you KNOW you’re meant to write?
Or, playing it safe by offering the same products and services as everyone else?

I'm sitting here wondering why, although I've done 30 interviews for my second book, and know what I want to say, I haven't created the time to write it yet.

These questions also are making me commit to myself to make sure I put the “boom-boom-pow” into my new website.

Thanks for the wonderful post!

I can completely relate to you on this one, Sue! I haven't given notice, or tried to give notice, but in some ways I wish that I had – even without something else in place! It's definitely time for me to move on into something that is more me and something that I want, but that fear holds me back, holds me in place, waiting for the “right” moment, when something else is lined up… Hmmmm…

So true, Michael. Leaping – and taking 100% full ownership – seems to be the key!

Absolutely! Staying in action and making the best decision with what we have NOW seems to light the path ahead. It's amazing the opportunities, solutions, connections and ideas that come AFTER I decided to act on faith – and to step forward first. In so many cases, it seems that action is required to unlock the additional clues along the way.
