Now I write

I have always quite liked writing and I think I'm ok at it. 

I have recently become self employed and I feel like I have a million ideas and thoughts going through my head. I always think, I should write them down as I have never been known for having a good memory!

So I decided I AM going to write it all down.AND share it with anyone that is willing to listen.

I will do my best to keep it Fitness/nutrition/pre-post Pregnancy related! But I may wander from time to time.

So, Like I said, I have always quite enjoyed writing. I remember if I ever had a falling out with a boyfriend or friend when I was younger I would write it all down, because I always looked back at conversations and thought, "damn it, I wish I had said that" Boyfriends would just LOVE to receive a letter about my feelings and why I was upset. ;) But they always worked and my points were made clear. I was never and am still not great at talking about feelings, writing things down is way easier.

I am also the one at home that drafts the ranty emails to things like HMRC who always seem to demand money from you. We have been hounded with letters for about 4 years now from supposed overpaid working tax credits.

Every time we get one I write a belter of a letter back that gets them off our back for a while. (It's a shit system and I wish we had never claimed them, they are not getting a penny from us!)

Anyway my point is, in these situations I have done pretty well with putting words down. SO I thought let me take it into my world of self employed work and see where it leads me.

 I am 3 weeks into my new life as a Self Employed Personal Trainer!

It feels bloody amazing!

I was listening to a podcast today about PT's becoming self employed and the sense of euphoria you get when you make that plunge from employed to Self employed, I totally get it! I have had this inner fire inside of me since I made that decision, not one ounce of my body is slightly hesitant or regretful.  It's funny because before I decided that I was going to go self employed,  I wanted to, but I couldn't see that it was possible financially.

One day I had had enough and thought, I AM going to make it work, that is the only option! 

Since then I have read Tim Ferris 'The 4 hour work week' and the best thing I got from that book was when he talks about taking risks and how people put off doing want they really want to because of fear. Fear of failing. He says you just have to think about what the worst case scenario is. Often it's not that bad and then the thing all of a sudden is not so scary to do. 

This talks to me!  I have no fear, come at me Self Employed-ness!
