That Thing That Scares You: Dive In Head First!
For months now, I have been planning, working, designing, and creating a whole new purpose and business for myself. While I wanted to wait until everything was perfect, so that I could pull back the curtain and show you all of the amazing thing at once, I instead found myself holding back in fear.
On Friday, I kicked fear to the curb and I announced my new business name: Sincerely, Jackie.
I don't have my website ready yet (soon though, I promise!), I don't have the new items in the shop, I haven't finished the new Facebook page, and I don't even have all of my final business cards back from the printer.
But I feel amazing.
Before the announcement, I think I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect that I actually began setting myself up for failure. Nothing in life is perfect, so why was I trying so hard to do the impossible?
By letting go and diving in, head first, without over analyzing, over thinking, or over planning, I have managed to do the one thing that I have been afraid of. I have launched Sincerely, Jackie successfully.
Thank you all for your kind messages and words of support, it looks like we're all excited about this new chapter!
Sincerely,

How exciting! Congrat's. And I love that you didn't let fear hold you back anymore. Was just thinking how I needd to touch base with you again (this is the Danielle who contacted you about my VA biz) & catch up on your blog.
