Thanks @wung. I agree with you that it's pointless to try if you don't believe in yourself. I'm not sure however about the failing part. Many folks have started a new business being 100% confident they would smash it and they didn't achieve what they had hoped from it. I guess in the eyes of many others you could say they failed. However, the point of my article was that sometimes something else comes along as an opportunity and it's unexpected to us because as things sometimes do they fell into our laps. It may pay more or be more profitable but because it didn't fit into our original ideas on what we thought we wanted to do when we started, we need to be careful not to reject other opportunities out of hand without first reflecting on it or at least giving it a try.
