Stinkin’ Thinkin’ needs to be sent off to a desserted Island, where fear eating goannas will attack it and mutant crocs patrol the sea in case a skerrik of stinkin’ thinkin’ escapes and tries to save itself by climbing atop a swimmer’s head.

I love my ideas – even the crazy ones that will never work. I love them because it means I am not entertaining stinkin’ thinkin’ and his negative vibe.

Wonderful post Craig. Thanks for submitting it to the Carnival of Australia.

Many times I've shared some ideas only to find them sneezed out of existence by my listener or worried to death by a quip on my listener's brow. I've been pleased to bring a few ideas to life. I'm still on a journey of learning how to effectively sell my ideas. Thanks for sharing. Craig I’ve found that ideas are very delicate.

That’s me. Or was. Or is but trying really hard not to be.

I had yet another really cool business idea a couple of months ago and for the first time I have actually done something about it.

I’m now studying full time in a program where you do a year’s worth of business management in 2 months and if you can come up with a plan that meets the requirements of the course you come away with a cert IV in Business Management and a year’s worth of mentoring and financial help.

ANYWAY, It’s been 15 years plus since I’ve studied and it’s hard yakka and I’ve been getting scared and today I have thought that it would be so much easier to go back to my safe, soul destroying job and not have to face the fear and push myself so hard. I’m scared I can’t do this. I’m scared that I can.

Right now I’m just scared. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I wanted to thank you for the most timely kick in the pants.

So glad you’re here :-)

Katrina

Have sent some questions to Charles Sturt Uni today about Prep courses and the degree. I also have two children under 6, so it will be challenging. Thanks Dee and others.

I went back to Uni at 30 with 2 children under 3 and also ran a small business from home all whilst we were owner building a house. It took me 6.5 years to complete a 4 year course, but i did it. It was hard but I made sacrifices and lived on not much sleep and i am so happy that i did it. One of the things that i find amazing is that so many people say to me "i've always wanted to do that" "so just do it i say" and guess what? i have heard all the excuses why they can't. Be the one that does it and not the one that makes the excuse why you can't. Good luck. Dee Michelle – do it!

As Craig says, we all faulter (that looks sooo wrong!) at times, go back a step or six, move one step forward, halt etc. Take heart, we're all in this world together, all struggling, all surviving, all filled with self doubt. Just take the next small step and see things from that space.<br/>cheers guys!
