This weekend will be filled with quite a bit of soul searching... and to tell you the truth I'm a little scared about it. I'm not quite ready to dive into the decisions I have to make, and I seem to be forced in a direction that is a bit scary to me. Over the past few years I have experienced a number of ups and downs and oh so many changes. My career, however, has always remained pretty constant and that has provided me a sense of comfort. Come April I knew exactly where I would be and exactly what to expect (financially and emotionally). Even through all the struggles that come with owning your own business, I always felt that at the end of each season everything would work out. And it always did.
I like to consider myself a risk taker. I mean... I did start a business as a college junior (a pretty successful one too). However, over the years I have settled nicely into my comfort zone and now that I have a husband, house and baby, those risks seem pretty, well, risky. Kris and I dream up different business ventures in our head for fun and love to drive around and just talk about all the different ideas we have. But it's just that, talk. Now I am faced with a situation where I have to decide on the fate of my business. I feel like I have inched my way to the very edge of the diving board and now is the time to choose. Will I dive in or slowly crawl back down to more "comfortable" ground? And what if that ground has been shaken up a bit and seems a little more wobbly than it did before? I'm still not sure just what direction to take, right now i'm sort of hovering in between, but I am so thankful that I at least I have a decision to make.
