I am 100% sure that I could not have written that discussion title while I was in my A! But, I'm not, so.... I DID IT!!! (what?) Well, I started my own business. No longer f'd up, f'd over, or distracted, I was able to focus on something productive and actually go out and get it for myself! Not me waiting for xAP or H to sweep in like a doofus on a mule and make my dreams come true - nope. I did it all by my lonesome. Today, I signed my first client!

I needed to change who I was, who I _thought_ I was, what I thought I was worthy of, what I thought I was capable of... basically every thing in order to get to this place. I NEVER would have done it with my A-having mindset, and I couldn't have done it while in the depths of my A-missing mindset. When one is acting like a jackhole, one doesn't really feel one deserves success, ya know what one means? ;)

So to all my EASers, from the enthusiastic newbies to our sage Vets, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for dragging me kicking and screaming into the light! I thank you, American Express thanks you, my kid's private school thanks you! Now, I might actually be able to pay some bills!

Danke and Yeah me!
Dee

Hi Dee,
Chiming in a little late here, but just wanted to let you know how happy I am for you. You have been so much help to me here with your very sound/to-the-point advice. You always cut straight to the chase and I have appreciated that even though it may have stung a bit at the time. Your straight-forward honesty about your own situation makes you believable. You have worked so hard at getting this JAM out of your system. Congrats!
Love, AAI
