It all looks good on paper

The independent contracting thing is slowly becoming a reality....Slowly because I am not rushing the process. Of course there is fear. As any psychologist knows, most fears are going to make you want to run away. In my case, there is the fear of failure and not being able to support my family. So, part of me wants to stay where I am. However, if I stay where I am, that would be it. No growth or opportunity.

So I am challenging my unjustified fear of failure. As of Tuesday, I start to phase in as an independent contractor.

I am also working with the unjustified fear of failure. I will make this work by looking at the company that I am doing work for, finding what is both needed and missing, and providing (exploiting) it.

2009...change is on the way

A New Year and new opportunities....I am slowly taking on a roll as an independent contractor. This is a fancy way of saying that I moving towards working for myself. I have two companies that I will be working with. My main focus is on an outpatient facility that will provide opportunities to do groups, testing, and in services and workshops.

I am transitioning out of a company that provides the safe perks that keep people (trapped) in (unfulfilled) jobs (benefits/vacation/sick time, retirement, etc)...taking a quote I heard from a non psychologist (he had a TV show about flipping houses)..."the greater the risk, the greater the reward"
