This is so true! So often, we hold ourselves back, while we’re busy making excuses — and calling them reasons — why we can’t get ahead.

Thanks for exploding some of the myths of the can’t-get-ahead mentality and cheering us on to get out there and do whatever it takes to find success! Sometimes, we have to be willing to let go of those reins take a risk–to refuse to give in to fear or timidity. When we do, often we find that letting go of the familiar and embracing something new and exciting wasn’t as bad as we thought it would be, and good things come our way.

Thanks for encouraging us to run with the stallions!

Wonderful post!

You’re a hoot! I really enjoyed reading this comment of yours. I’m glad you like my website! I have received more compliments on it then I’ll ever be able to count! I did have the vision in my head, but Goofy Girl Designs used her techy talents to make it a reality.

Way to go…as far as the topic of your post…I’m surprised you don’t have a giant picture of my face smack in the middle of it.

Love that! Like I said… you’re a hoot! hehehe

Seriously, though, it is so hard to find the courage to query those big markets. It’s not that we aren’t talented enough, ya know. We may not be perfect, but we’re definitely capable of pulling of an amazing article – or tons!

And for those of you concerned about voices in my head, you know you hear them too! Well, not my voices…that would be crazy.

It is the hardest thing to do, isn’t it?! I’m thankful that you enjoyed my post and that it reminded you to let go and give your dreams free rein!

I am sure you don’t realize what an amazingly talented writer you are. Seriously!

I’m so glad my post helped you. It is so easy to get caught up in doing so much for others that we almost forget about succeeding ourselves, isn’t it?

What a blessing that I encouraged you! That’s my greatest heart’s desire… to be an encouragement and inspiration to my readers. Yay for accomplishing that!

I know my dreams will come true, too. It’s just that I’m a gal of little patience and always want stuff YESTERDAY!

Oh, the glossy mags are calling, aren’t they?! Here’s to making the time to pitch and to getting in!

I was reading a few things on LinkedIn this AM, when I realized I hadn’t checked your blog in some time. When I clicked on the link to your website, I was excited to see your portal that links to your portfolio, blog, website, etc. I really liked it!! Very professional and links all of your work together! Way to go…as far as the topic of your post…I’m surprised you don’t have a giant picture of my face smack in the middle of it. I am my own worst enemy. I’ve taken a few leaps, but not like I should. It’s that little voice in my head that says, “Who do you think you are, wanting to write an article for ‘Vanity Fair’? Hahahahaha. Go do a few more SEO articles for $10 a pop. Sheesh.” I know I shouldn’t listen, but I do. And for those of you concerned about voices in my head, you know you hear them too! Well, not my voices…that would be crazy.
