Day 3. "I've got chills...they're multiplying..." :P

It's DAY THREE!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Okay...I have not done a thing yet and have not had the opportunity to be online, but when I last checked, Ed et al did not have anything posted yet and won't until later.

Stay tuned.................. :)

It is now *checks imaginary watch* 7:24pm cst (19:24 for those who prefer military time, like myself)....and no Day 3 items posted yet on the TDC site.

I just got in the door, so for me that is not a problem. I just hope to be able to do it and also catch up on pre-training this weekend *cross fingers & eyes & legs*!! I want to be caught up so I can stay right on course....sailing ahead valiantly through the storm. Ok...a little dramatic....but, you know what I mean. ;P

I still have to feed the children, clean up after the children, play with the little one outside who is an outdoor freak (runs in our family), hound every one to settle down later, get them to bed, get them back to bed :P, and the like....hubby flies home tonight from Houston...so, I'll have to greet him and spend some time there...

Anyhow, that is where we are at.

The TDC site seems to be having slow server problems due to their SUCCESS!! THAT cracks me up! They are teaching us how to be successful (well, the techniques we can apply to get there) and it seems they were not prepared for their own success!! That taught me that anyone can limit themselves....."oh, we will only be about so big..." Be prepared. Be optimistic about your results. Never think you are big enough where you can have a BIG GROWTH spurt! So, that is a good reminder for us all. Don't limit your growth!!! If you do, you are the only one doing it!

For all the TDC "Newbies" like myself...I recall Ed saying a few times a very true and comforting thing: Don't think that is a hindrance! THAT is excatly whom they are focused on serving!! "The teachable"...and it brings to mind that sometimes, just sometimes, ignorance IS bliss!

"Ignorance gives one a large range of probabilities." --George Eliot.

Ignorance is a protective blessing!

"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again."---Samuel Beckett

Would you revise the play, market the website or the column, apply for the loan or grant, attend the seminar, rent the kiln, if you KNEW that failure always preceeds success?? Failure is a critical part of the creative process. "Authentic success arrives only after we have mastered failing better"...at least says S.B. Breathnach

Other things we don't need to know: Just HOW MUCH we have taken on when we accept to do something. Sometimes, if we knew, we'd chicken out!!

That's why us newbies are mostly so full of enthusiasm! We are in the bliss of ignorance...and that allows us to be open to more possibilites...as we don't know better....we don't limit ourselves..."hey, this is cool! I'm in! I'm going for it!" we say without even knowing the full cost of our "fiat."

Anyhow, that is just a thought I had about us Newbies...don't feel "less" because you are a newbie!

"Whatever you can do or dream you can, BEGIN IT!;
Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." --Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

See you soon!!!!

PS: Yes, I think I came up with my SEVEN (7) markets late last night!
