Welcome to the Club of FOMO Recovery, Cindy. 🙂 I did something similar in the early days and I detail the one Shiny Object that knocked some sense into me in my Kindle Book. I guess its because we want to be our best when we start our own coaching business or any business that we’re passionate about that we open ourselves (and our wallets) to new ideas and quite often they are Shiny Objects.

I’m saddened about your son’s transition but it has provided you with a base to question what works and what doesn’t. I feel you’ve got your own Angel in Heaven now and things are going to be better.

When my son died in 2017, everything stopped. I’m currently in the stages of picking up various aspects of my previous business model and asking myself, “Do I want to pursue this?” This is a wonderful post and provided me with better questions to ask myself in my quest to gain clarification. Thank you… Your insights are a valued gift.

I hear you, Heather, and your grandmother was absolutely right!

Newbie entrepreneurs often fall for shiny objects, Andrea, not because they are gullible but because they want to be successful. I’ve made the mistake of investing in courses where the facilitator disappeared shortly after the first module and learned my lessons well. 🙂 I only invest my money and even my time once I have assessed I need guidance and always check the credibility of the service provider.

You are welcome to come back as many times as you like, Barb!

Thank you Pamela! Taking time away from work or business does serve as a catalyst for letting go of stuff that doesn’t work and replacing it with better doable actions as well as getting us back in touch with our big Why.
