When I started my business some time ago, I wanted it to have its own identity but wasn't sure when I would take it to that level. I know now that I should have done it the first day. I was nervous about forming a corporation because of the enormous amount of reporting involved. After researching the options, I decided that a Limited Liability Company was what was right for my situation.
After my decision, I thought some more and some more and the years came and went. Finally in 2009 I decided to take the plunge but did not muster up the courage to do so until this month (April 2009). I have come to the realization that what kept me from completing my decision for so long was fear. I'm not sure what I was afraid of but now that I have completed the process I'm relieved and proud that I completed what I set out to do so long ago.
Now that the process is complete I have the job of notifying "everyone" of the change. I keep reminding myself that I will remember to notify "everyone" of the change because, in the back of my mind I think that I'm forgetting "someone".
I know that I am not the only person who is, at times, paralyzed by fear. I wish that there was a magic potion or something that could stop the effect of fear in our lives. Don't you?
By the way, on May 4, 2009 my company will become Alleluia!LLC/ Custom Embroidery. Yeah!!

Congratulations for conquering your fear, Pat, and on your new status as an LLC! I, too, have moments when I'm just not so sure of myself and so I put off doing a task for fear of the unknown (more often than not, the unknown is failure). Then when I actually get around to doing it, I kick myself for not trying and learning sooner. There are a couple of projects I have been putting off that you now have inspired me to just forge ahead and get them over with!
ReplyDeleteSuzie,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you found the pot useful. It has also inspired me to just forge ahead with other things that scare me. I confess that it will take time to just forge ahead because old habits die hard but it will be easier for me to forge ahead in the future.
