I did it!

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

STANDING O!!!!

Way to go Dee! I for one am awful proud of you, and more importantly I am awful proud of how proud you are of yourself and YOUR accomplishments!

Thanks for sharing your great news with us...it is clear the board could use some positivity right now! Shine on my sister! Hoping that 1 client turns into 10...and then into how ever many you can handle! Good luck.

On a personal note, I always love your posts, they are always so full of truth and total reflection. They all make me think. But this one, well it just makes me SMILE! And that is something we all need to do each day.

Congrats again...one great big Cyber Pat on the Back from ME.

CAN I GET A WITNESS?!

Whoop Whoop!

Amazing Dee! I remember coming to this board in Dec. and I think at that time you were talking about how miserable you were with your current career?! And look at you go woman! Starting up your own freaking business - some days I am impressed if I manage to change out of the clothes from the day before ... after wearing them to bed too. It is some kinda huge testament to where you have journeyed too - because you're so very right. Doing anything for ourselves, for our futures that is positive, is just so outta the question when all consumed by the A-fog.

I am so proud of you!

wow, talk about an actual physical indicator of your progress! first step: get out of A, next step: start a business, step 3....perhaps we'll see you on american idol?

good for you dee. this is really awesome. do yourself a favor, and make sure you write down all the GOOD feelings you are experiencing right now. nothing can take this sense of accomplishment away from you. next time you feel down, remind yourself of this major step you took.

ps really loved your analogy of a doofus on a mule riding up to save you....totally turns the knight in shining armor on his head :)
