Yes, Gloria - I too Will Survive!

Have you ever done something that you knew you had to do, dread doing it, but then felt exhilarated after doing it? And the exhilarated feeling lasted even a week after doing it? Well, I had to do something - a business decision that I dreaded. It was something that I had to do - and it took me YEARS (yes, years) to finally make the break. I won't go into the particulars, but why I'm writing this blog is to provide a testimonial to others facing similar challenges that yes, you too will survive!

I made this business decision on my birthday - this was a deliberate choice as that in my mind, it was a perfect day to, like my friend Julie would say, "Slay the dragon!" Nothing could bring me down - no sly tactic or passive-aggressive b.s. (hey, I warned readers earlier - I'm direct); especially, on my birthday. I even timed my meeting first thing, so I could enjoy the rest of the day with my family.

So, now more than a week later - I know this is the best decision, yet one of the most difficult decisions, I have made with Messy Face.

There are a lot of unknowns and yet, I know I made the right choice. How do I know? Well, first the stress is gone. Secondly, the consultant or people who advise to not sweat the small stuff, well, it's the small stuff that matters - it's the small stuff that gets in the way; it's the small stuff that keeps people and businesses from moving forward, it's the small stuff that gets in the way of reliability, it's the small stuff that defines one's integrity. And it's the small stuff combined over time that makes a person finally decide, "Enough is enough" and slays the dragon!

Tough? Yes. Doable? Yes. Worth the risk? For me, most definitely!
