I missed out on several opportunities over the past few years. Mostly out of fear, letting my family question my instincts about it. The skepticism was good though, I should be confident in my knowledge and beliefs. It stretched me to explain and justify, which strengthened my standing over the years. My failures led to experience and is now paying off. I finally feel as if I have a real understanding of what I'm doing and why. Not fool proof though and I have my moments! Thanks for the article.
