I am right there with you. It sounds like you and I are very similar. Being able to love yourself and do something for yourself is so crucial to our happiness. The author of a book I recently read made a point that seems counter intuitive but it is entirely relevant. He said that motivation actually follows action rather than action following motivations. If you can take some seemingly very small steps toward your goal you might be able to create some momentum. There is a quote by Steve Prefontaine that I love which might ignite something in you like it has with myself. Steve said, "to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." Don't sacrifice your gift. Even without knowing you I can confidently say I believe in your ability to manifest even the wildest dreams. Best of luck, Gem. -Brett Gem – It sounds like you totally understand the nature of how challenging the beginning stages of starting a business is all about. I am right there with you.

I see my lack of self-worth as not pushing myself to actually run my business. I have had an LLC for 2 years and have not done anything with it yet. I am able to drop everything to help anybody else out... but when it comes to doing something for myself... I am lacking. For the past few months, that is what I have been concentrating on, along with trying to figure out how to gain that self-worth. I think I am also scared. So, extreme kudos to you for at least running your business and having the motivation to be doing something for YOURSELF!!! In one of my entrepreneurship classes, I learned that the coffee cup sleeve was patented by a man (sorry, I do not have his name) and he talked to Starbucks first to exclusively sell it to them. They turned him down. Obviously, they are extremely popular in every coffee shop, to this day... and Starbucks missed out on the chance to be the only one to offer them. That being said, just because someone says "no" to you, may not mean that you are missing out... it may very much mean that they are missing out. I am glad you found the light within. God bless. Brett,

That's what makes TMOOH stand out from all those other companies: That personal touch. Asking people to share their own struggles, and then sharing your own, makes the company that much more real than any other. :) Thanks so much for sharing Brett.
