I read something that made me pause, but because I was in a big hurry and felt confident that the other person was covering that base, I let it go. I am not sure if it would have changed the outcome, but at least I would feel confident that I flagged it for my boss. When taking initiative isn't the best thing.

So I started to say Yes and it was a real confidence booster. Don’t let self doubt take over. I think I can, I think I can.&#

My family traveled to another town last weekend for my daughter’s basketball tournament, and with time on our hands before tip-off, we decided to grab a bite to eat. I found a few restaurants in the area using the iPhone app Around Me and picked one based on the menu and reviews. The restaurant was packed, which is always a good sign.

This is something you really need to experiment with and you will gain more confidence to order less and know there will be enough food. What are the dates you can cancel by? Contracts will have dates you can cancel by. When you receive the contract, highlight that date and put it in your Tasks with a reminder for a week before.

It also eases your bosss mind when they see you write it down, it gives them confidence it will be taken care of. If he is travelling, I send it by e-mail, but it has been my experience that I will get better results with a face-to-face meeting. I put a sticky note on it, or write, the day I will need it, i.e. bf Dec.

I feel confident as I check off each item that things will be done on time. In my case an opportunity came up and at first I was hesitant as I didn't know what I was getting myself into, but I took the plunge and it is something I am really suited to do. It is a never ending circle isnt it?) How does one break into this field?

Embark on an unexpected travel. You don’t really care if he or she is married, if he or she is an honest person. You just don’t want to know more, all you want is to feel more, to experiment more. But the fact that we felt good shouldn’t make us feel bad after we realize we did a mistake. Fall in love.

All these didn’t happen by chance though. I didn’t know exactly what to expect when I ditched my full-time career to pursue my passion. There were things which helped me, and then there were things which didn’t. You don’t need to be limited with just 1 medium. Research if you need to. Do a survey.
