Been doing research today about my business demographics. I'm coming up empty. I'm looking for several other comparative things as well. I'm coming up empty.

So, is this a good thing or a bad thing? Do I press on with my idea or do I stop now before I know that I've possibly succeeded or failed? Have I found a niche in the market? Have I created something that no one will buy? Do I have anaudience for this product at all when I can't find anything simular? Am I being an optomist or a pessimist?

I hate when my emotional side argues with my super ego and can't come up with a reason to stop now or push on. Do I dare believe it is possible? Do I have it in me to make this happen? Am I scared of being successful or of failure?

This is most often how my mind goes these days. Around and around until I'm close topuking or gagging really hard.

Like me, my friend was going around in circles today with her thoughts around failure. I knew to some extent how she must feel but it comfused me toobecauseas a failure I believe you give up, quite trying, stay safe, isolated, DO NOTHING. Yet I know both she and I have the capability to accomplish many things when we set our mind to it. I think the follow through to the end or sustaining the drive required to keep going fails along the way.That what we fear about anything new, exciting, challenging, stepping outside ourselves to see what could happen is actually the fear of not sustaining or finishing, not the project itself.

So, since I've written this, do I push myself outside the circle breaking out of my current state of depression/anxiety and take the bull by the &$^% and squeezeit going for a fast bumpy ride to at least have tried and failed then to never have tried? To find a way to sustain my enthusiasm and drive, to accomplish what I set out to do, throughout the life of the business, project, etc?

I totally understand how all the questions can feel like they're clouding your judgement.. But I think you're doing a great job and things will get clearer the more you keep going.

What if?
