Word Up #66: JUMP

"we have to continually be jumping of cliffs and developing our wings on the way down - Kurt Vonnegut"

When I started Artifex Support (my company for Secretarial Services in the Netherlands) almost 13 years ago, I simply quit my well-paid day job. I believed in myself and made it happen. I got a lot of criticism. I was crazy for giving up my "security". How could I believe this would work? I was "just a girl" and I would never be able to get enough clients for me to live from my own company. That only made me go "watch me and eat my dirt please". It fueled my engine even more. From my first day as an entrepreneur I was very successful.

Lucky for me I did NOT listen to other people, they seriously thought I lost my head. Why is it so different now? Why do I care now about what other people say? I used to throw those opinions in the wind and walked the other way. But not now.

I'm building REVolution while I'm also working so much for Artifex and taking care of our lovely family. But I want more for REVolution, so badly. And i'm working hard for it. But sometimes I think: GIRL JUST JUMP! leap & have faith. I have to believe more in myself. like I did back then. How can I expect others to believe in me? JUST JUMP and make it happen again :). So what is holding you back? Why are you not jumping. Or maybe why ARE YOU jumping and how is that working out for you? Are you planning to JUMP in 2013? Will you JUMP with me?
