I'm very driven. And when things don't happen in Jenn Time, my tendency is to muck things up by living in my head too much. That's why I love having a coach. It's hard for me to see when I'm headed in that direction - it's nice to have that outside perspective.

That’s why I love having a coach. It’s hard for me to see when I’m headed in that direction – it’s nice to have that outside perspective. Someone to have that 30,000 foot view who can say “wait a minute – before you go beating yourself up – look at how far you’ve come, and how close you are!”

I usually go with the flow of the mud! When that flow becomes easier to move through, then I know I'm making some entrepreneurial progress. Recently, I've made some online associations with new people like you, and I'm stretching a bit. Most of the time I am sure of the path I'm on, then that wall looms up. I keep rewriting the story of what entrepreneurial success looks like for me. Knowing "I can't get it wrong and I'll never get it done" to quote a favorite teacher of mine, Abraham, is what the marathon metaphor, means to me. Thanks for writing. Best, Mary Katherine,

There are many truths in what you’ve written. I usually go with the flow of the mud! When that flow becomes easier to move through, then I know I’m making some entrepreneurial progress. Recently, I’ve made some online associations with new people like you, and I’m stretching a bit.

Most of the time I am sure of the path I’m on, then that wall looms up. I keep rewriting the story of what entrepreneurial success looks like for me.

If I let go, that wall seems to crumble or at least looses some height and I can get over it easier.

Going into business I used my marathon experiences as inspiration. Both require discipline, training and the ability to adjust for conditions. If you ever decide to tackle the marathon you'll have lots of support from your running writing friends. :-) <em>Karen Swim's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordsForHire/~3/271447316/promotion-is-essential-to-business.html'>Promotion is Essential to Business</a></em> Katherine, you are absolutely right in your comparisons.
