Caution -- Work you love...ahead

I've recently noticed that I'm a little more cautious when I'm going down the steps or just walking along. I naturally am a fast walker, and I literally tripped and fell onto my hand a few years ago. Thankfully, after the swelling and the numbness went away my hand was fine. I have rushed on projects before and overlooked things. It seems like this creating work you love stuff is taking "forever", but as I look at the big picture it really isn't taking "a long time". Everything is happening just like it's supposed to happen.

I am reading.

I am writing at 750words.com each day.

I'm editing my book and saving money to self-publish. 

My business entity and bank accounts are set-up.

I check in with my accountability partner on Friday's.

I touch base with my mentors a few times a week.

I have a seminar outline on the drawing board.

I'm building my business wardrobe.

I am taking care care of myself and eating well so I'll have the energy to continue to slowly move forward.

In the big scheme of things, it would do us all good to take things slow and steady for a bit. I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk. I've walked that route many times, but that day I took a mis-step. As you create work you love, be on the look out for cracks in the side walk. Take steady, level steps. Look before you leap. Ask for advice. If your plan is to transition into full time work you love, really take it slow and steady. There are a lot of things you have to consider. I've made my share of money mistakes over the years, and I'm a whole lot wiser, and stronger. Count the cost of time, money and energy. Slow and steady worked in the children's book, The Tortoise and the Hare. By nature I'm a hare in more ways than one. I think up the most interesting stuff known as "hare brained" ideas. I can move fast and even run if needed! However, when I slow it down, pace myself, stay on course and know that the race is indeed not given to the swift, but to the one who endures to the end, I know that slow and steady will work for me, and I will cross my own personal finish line right on time. 

Thanks for stopping by. Pull up a chair and come back often.
