There are too many people out there living with What Ifs. Keep at it until you get it right or don't start at all. Thanks for stopping by! Cheers! Erica That is totally true Wendy.

Another lesson in this pot of gold, is "persistance pays off". Instead of quitting and deciding it really wasn't worth the effort to learn how to sew if you had to start by correcting a mistake, you were determined and committed enough to persist and rip our the quilt. This is something that so many would be great entrepreneurs fail to acknowledge. They quit before the big break through. Nice analogy, and such a valuable lesson to learn.

Mom knew that if I wasn't willing to learn to rip the seam out that I wasn't worth investing her time in to teach me how to sew. We need as mentors, to know who is worth our time and our effort- that is usually the people who are willing to learn to help themselves. Thanks for visiting! Now go and call your Mom! Cheers!

It reminded me of my mom cause she loves to sew. Very good analogy Erica. I also thought of your mom as being a mentor in this industry. As a mentor we shouldn't hold the hand of our new member but let them figure some things out on their own. :) Thanks for sharing! Erin That was a cute story!

I love the way you use real life to create the lessons. Experience IS a hard teacher - she gives you the test first & the lesson after! Anyone who never fails at anything is not trying anything, the trick is not to make the same mistake twice. Learning by experience is exactly that - you need to experience it to be able to learn from it. And YES, you are sooo right when you say it is the DESIRE to get it right that takes you back to try it again (something like asking a girl out on a date for the first time & she says no!) Stay Inspired, Michael Once again a fantastic post Erica! I love the way you use real life to create the lessons.
