You express this lies so well. I'm a college student and not in a good financial situation right now and i did started one company that does consulting. Suddenly we focused on making business cards, paper, a web site all this things to try to impress people and it took lots of money from us. We thought that if we didn't had all that we were not business owners. So i share lie number 1 with you. I'm now convinced that it does not take money to make money and though i still have to make the money i will start right now to do the things necessary to make money and take out all the lies from me. Thanks for somehow opening my eyes!! Definitely the quote above this says it all about you. You express this lies so well.

I read some of your blog again this weekend. I keep reading over and over from time to time. I've made some lies up recently myself. The reality is the interior design market is tough right now but I can make it out of the hole if I desire. The loss of moving out of my beautiful office last November was tough but I'm so over it and on to bigger and better. The real reality is now it is time to kick butt. I've been struggling to find the right niche but luckily fo rme, my son helps me through the stuff I neglect. He pushes me to the wall. It was mother's day this weekend but it should have been Son's day. He's the greatest! Focus is the most important thing - hard to do when one is suffering from a loss and their seems like the tunnel is very dark. The more I stay on my path the better. I have great intentions and I just ask myself daily to stay focused amongst the confusion of distractions of daily living. Wish me luck but I do appreciate folks out there like you and my son! And, his lovely wife! Michele Colorthemes Hello Christine,

So today, I'm going to be examing some of the lies and take some ACTION. :) Christine, this was a post that really had me taking a look at what was holding me back from moving forward in a couple of areas of life.
