Do you still have work from home dreams of a lifestyle you’d love to attain or a home business you’d like to start? Do you remember how to dream big like our kids do? As we grow, we often grow into the mindset that we have to work hard and we can’t take chances – or chase work from home dreams – because we have to be responsible, especially if we have a family to support.

I used to be a person who was terrified of ever dropping the ball. In the US, the term “drop the ball” has very negative connotations. It means you’ve failed to take action or failed to do something you were supposed to do. And by dropping the ball, you often end up disappointing the other people in your life. I used to feel it was very important to keep all of my balls constantly in the air, whether those balls were my job, my family or the responsibilities in the rest of my life.

Decision-making holds an inherent trap. We all want to make the right decision. But fear of making the wrong one can paralyze us into inaction. As Theodore Roosevelt famously said, “In any moment of a decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.”. Sometimes, right and wrong decisions don’t exist.

As entrepreneurs, we often view other business owners as competitors. We think we need to outperform them, outsmart them and simply outdo them.

Instead, I have always chosen to come alongside other business owners—especially other women—to share ideas , converse and strategize.

Most people understand the term “disability” and what it means, especially as related to workplace injuries or illnesses. Essentially, something has happened to you that renders you unable to work at a particular job as you once could. However, there are two different disability types: long-term and short-term. Long-term disability refers to situations where a person cannot recover from the injury or illness that has sidelined them from their current job.
