This month I made a trip back home to visit my Mom.  It has been over 2 years since I have been here but the path to getting on the plane was not as straight forward as it used to feel.  It did re-teach me a valuable lesson that I had forgotten about where to find my answers. 

Have you ever found yourself sitting at your desk and wishing that you had the nerve to jump ship and do something different. It can be exciting and scary all at once especially if you are thinking of moving into a whole new field of work.  During my conversation with Joseph we talk about this and how the skills you have been gaining your whole life may be just the ticket to succeed and soar higher in the new field.

With Halloween a month away it got me thinking about scary things!

Often times we have a goal that we put aside because we come up with all the excuses. Sure sometimes they may be valid or is it that you are just scared? Scared to try, scared on what it would be like if you did accomplish it. 

I talk about how I fell into this trap and how I got myself out of it. 

Do you have a goal that you keep putting aside out of fear?
