Hi Subscriber,

Today was back to school day for a lot of Aussie Kids after our big summer hols. Boy what a morning. Does it ever get easier? The kids were fine, but I was definitely feeling more than a little anxious. Would the teacher be 'right' for my child? How would the other kids behave toward my little angels (well I can dream right)?

And to add to the anxiety my kids have to catch the bus for the first time this afternoon. I have no idea what they're meant to do - but thankfully one of Kyra's friends is catching one s o she can help them through it. It sure does bring up a whole lot of fear.

Speaking of fear, I watched a Crusty Demons special the other night. I've only heard of the Crusty Demons because Codey, my five year old, has a friend who is crazy about them. From what I can tell they're a group of motor bike riders who tour around doing dare devil stunts.

So on this particular show (at Ipswich in Queensland) they were attempting to break world records by jumping the furthest distance on a motor bike. This one guy (Trigger) was aiming to fly over 250 feet through the air! They had spent hours getting the landing pad just right, making sure the take off ramp was positioned at exactly the right spot and the run up was long enough for them to gather the amount of speed needed to make this jump.

So did Trigger break the record?

Well, no-one knew. As he came down to land he almost collided with the MC who was still standing on the top of the landing pad. Can you imagine the fear that comes from being nearly 80 feet in the air and realising that you might be just about to die? Not to mention taking someone else along with you.

Kind of puts things in perspective doesn't it.

Have you ever tried to do something in your business where you've put a lot of work into it. Possibly even all your heart and soul, only to have something go horribly wrong at the last minute? Maybe a website. Or a workshop. Or perhaps a big promotion. And then when you get it out there for the world to see - the world hasn't taken any notice.

You feel like you've taken a fall. You secretly tell yourself how hopeless you are. Perhaps you vow to yourself 'never again'. And you shelve your big plans for something a little bit tamer. A little bit easier. A little less likely to fail.

Needless to say after this close call, Trigger was pretty shaken up. He decided there was no way he was going to have another attempt and was saying goodbye to the crowd. Then, along came his friend, who basically said to him 'Mate, you need to get back up there now and have another go. If you don't do it now, you never will'.

After initially hesitating Trigger went right on out there to begin his run up again.

What does this article bring up for you? Is there something you tried that perhaps you'd like to publicly commit to trying again? If so, why not share it with your fellow Mumpreneurs on the blog at http://www.mumpreneurs.wordpress.com/.
