get my jewelry business started- for real this time.

Well, ok. So I can't be financially independent doing this. It'll have to be a side business at least until we have the money and discipline to run it hard and market it right. (Damn the marketing is expensive!!!) But I can go back to my art jewelry, and shows are a real possibility again. If I can find a good paying job. I'd like to work for a jeweler, but I don't think they pay well. But honestly, let me be honest at least with with myself, I haven't done the research to know either way. This week I face my fears head on and go taltk to some jewelers. At least then I couls still go to work and come home dirty with gold dust and polishing compound. I can't think of a better way to come home. :)

The fear has held me back for too long. I AM talented. I AM very good at what I do. So I'm told. My friends are starting to rally around me and tell me "GO GO GO!!!" My family has backed me up a long way, but I am still afraid that I'm going to screw up and possibly very badly. I hate making mistakes, but you always regret not having done something more than something you have done. Anyone else out there?
