when I grow up

As part of deciding whether or not I wanted to quit my RN job, I listed all the things I wanted to do instead.  I wanted to blog, become more of a hippie mom (using essential oils, frugality, maybe even homeschooling), get back into consulting with Rodan + Fields, and be a housewife.  Now here I am with opportunity staring me in the face.  Blogging, check.  Hippie mom, working on it.  Rodan + Fields, well, I told hubby that I quit it.  So yeah.  Not sure how to go about that one.

As I mentioned earlier, my main goal for 2014 is to face my fears.  I've read/seen in so many blogs/Pinterest posts/whatever that one of the biggest fears is the fear of success.  When I started R+F, I was 8mo pregnant, hating my job, and wanting a way to make income to put the boys in school, but still have a bit left over to fund a Target spree here or there.  I had no idea what I was in for, in terms of actual behind the scenes work.  I thought it would be easy, ask a few friends to buy products and/or become consultants, and BOOM, done.  I immediately quit trying, both wanting and fearing the hard work it would take to be successful.  Now I'm ready to start again, to devote my spare time to getting my business up and running.

I'll be keeping tabs on my business here on the blog, for accountability.  Who knows, I may find some success stories through the interwebs.
