how true! how true! Thanks for the reminder, Rosa.

I just read a terrific post on the site of a writer/writing coach who finds that the cause of writer's block is often fear/self-doubt.

She has six suggestions for letting go of the fear and returning to playfulness, all of which would also work for small business owners or any other self-employed folks.

That article is on April Kihlstrom's blog here: http://aprilkihlstrom.blogspot.com/2007/06/writers-block.html

Aloha EM, thank you for sharing April's link; I like the way she coaches us toward finding our sources of joy. She also makes a good point about listing our past successes, for we take ourselves for granted way too much, not milking our victories for all they're worth!

Absolutely! I look at being self-employed as a real test of my self-esteem. I find I must really persevere, believe in myself, and keep going in spite of setbacks. It's tough, and I have renewed respect for people who do it successfully. Thanks for the post!
