Baby Steps

     Baby steps.  That's how we learn to walk & it's how I'm learning to get my creative art biz off and running.  It's been slow going because of my technological "challenges".  I wanted to use the word "impairment", but my brother-in-law said that sounds like a disability.  Enough said.
     My business mentor says I need to get over myself (my paraphrase) and remove the 't and all I'll be left with is CAN.  Good stuff.  Next, he says, all I have to do is ask myself HOW can I?  Just the kick in the artistic backside I needed.
     So, Baby Step One: I got over myself & told myself I CAN do it.
     Baby Step Two: I went home from our meeting, got online, and actually figured out a few things for myself.
     Baby Step Three:  (I call this one Perseverance.)  For me, it's doing what the Nike slogan says:  "Just Do It". I have to give my sister credit here for being my patient Help Line when I can't figure something out, but it is exciting to see my fear of computers lessening and my tech abilities growing.
     I don't see myself running anytime soon, but I'm learning how to do the HOW CAN I? walk.
     Baby steps.
