Sometimes when you work for yourself for a long time you forget why

And you find yourself working longer and harder because when you started it felt so good

And when you stopped it felt so scary

But sometimes when you work for yourself for a long time you have to say 'no' no matter how much it scares you

No, not today No, not by tomorrow No, not even if the world might come screeching to a halt

Because chances are it won't

And once you've said 'no' make a u-turn for the love shack and some yes-yes-yes

And see if the fear doesn't go back where it came from and the 'why' doesn't come flooding back...

I'm off to the big she-nerd conference in the morning, so no timely posts for a bit. I do have a little treat planned for you on Monday, though. So I hope you'll stop by...Brandon.
