Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:15:16 +0000 http://bkmacdaddy.com/blog/?p=529#comment-859 Thank you soo much! You have summarized the exact same conclusion I have come too. This goes into the whole area of work & life balance and what matters most in life. I believe it is possible to find that balance and amazingly, you have the secret advice right here. You have spoken from my heart. Unquestionable passion and drive will allow you to grow and achieve your goals. Like you said, they are plans and they give you guidance. You, your clients or something else will change, but having that one vision will keep the that fire burning inside of you and help you avoid from getting side tracked. Great post! Thank you soo much!

This is pretty much how I approached my leap to freelancing and how I have and will continue to approach life in general. In my opinion, nothing wrong with strategic planning, acquiring skills that might allow you easy transition should disaster occur. In fact I don't even see anything wrong with being able to answer the question what if? What would you do if all of your clients jumped ship tomorrow. It's when you go into something always assuming the worst, creating a back up plan and dwelling on it, that you produce the doubt that will lead to failure. If you are going to do something that you truly enjoy then do it, go full speed ahead without doubt and with success in mind. If you hit a wall try to jump higher, if you still don't make it over then and only then should you consider the reassessment of the path that got you there. Well said.
