Sorry. I'm just whining.

Not really whining. More like being mad at myself and wondering why I've wasted all these years.

I started following one business guru 8 years ago. I found the very first email newsletter that I received from this person, deep within my email account last night. I was just curious about how long I had known about this guru (who I have now met in person several times since I have attended several live events), and I was stunned to see that it was 8 years.

8 years.

When I first found this person and bought some of their coaching services, I was so excited about the prospect of turning my life around, making more money, and helping the people out there who need me.

8 years of procrastinating.

8 years of telling myself I'm not good enough at what I do to ask for money from customers.

8 years of having customers here and there, and then nothing for a while, and then customers again.

8 years of getting more out of the feeling of "Someday my dreams will come true" rather than using that time to work toward making those dreams come true.
