wow... this came right when i needed to hear it. i found that i've been stuck in the habit of settling for plan b, which is a pattern i want to break. putting words to it helps open the curtain for plan a to take the stage
I am behind on my reading, so forgive me for commenting on this post so late! But I too am in the process of releasing "Plan B." It has also taken me YEARS to do this. Sometimes I'm ashamed of that, but it's true, timing is everything. I have spent the first few years as a solopreneur focused on being a freelancer who creates for other people, leaving very little time for my own creations. But becoming a mom is what has forced me to go all in on Plan A (my own creations), quite simply because there's room for nothing else. I can't take the pressure of Plan B anymore as I try to navigate being a stay-at-home-mom and working on the side. Having other people relying on me to create and churn things out for them on a deadline has felt even more crushing and like too much responsibility. I feel much more free now, though also still scared about what's going to happen with me financially going all in on Plan A! So anyway, I am all for cheering each other on as we take this leap!!
