We all know people held back from achieving their dreams
and most times,
the people holding them back is themselves.
I read this brilliant advice
from writer Elizabeth Gilbert...
http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/writing.htm
"Magazines, editors, agents – they all employ young people making $22,000 a year whose job it is to read through piles of manuscripts and send you back letters telling you that you aren’t good enough yet: LET THEM DO IT. Don’t pre-reject yourself. That’s their job, not yours. Your job is only to write your heart out, and let destiny take care of the rest."
So no more pre-rejections.
Delegate that role to someone else
(customers, business partners, employers, your Mom).
Don't worry.
You'll have plenty of volunteers.
