Well it's official ... i'm not superwoman and I can't (and don't want to) do everything perfectly.
After a long weekend of soul searching and long talks with my husband (who, as a side note, is the most amazing and supportive person. I can't express how much he means to me and how much I love him.) I have made a big decision. A year ago I decided to go back to school to get my MBA because I wanted to get some more business knowledge but mostly because I thought it was what I should do. Well now I have decided that it is time to take a semester off so that I can focus all of my energy on ScoutDog Studios. I still just get so wrapped up in what other people think and disappointing people and making the wrong decision that I forget to listen to myself and what I think is the right thing to do.
It is so frustrating that I still worry about what other people think. I know that there is no one right way to live your life. I am the only one who knows what is best for me and I decided that right now that is giving 100% of my energy to trying to make my business a success. I can always go back to school and finish up my MBA if this doesn't work out but I have such good feelings that this is what I should be doing that I want to go for it.
After quitting my job over a year ago and now putting a hold on school, I feel like this is really it. It's now or never baby. And I am going for it. I just have to remind myself of the words of wisdom that a little boy said once while walking past my booth at an art fair ... "Dogs are funny."
