It’s really very simple to get started. All you have to do is allow yourself to fail. Cough, sputter, what? Yeah, you heard me, allow yourself to fail. It’s when we get all pent up inside that we build walls to new experiences and opportunities that will make our businesses flourish. Sometimes it’s the fear of making a fool of ourselves. Sometimes it’s the fear of not looking good enough. Sometimes it’s just plain fear! And the death of fear is permission to fail. The amazing part of this remedy is how much you won’t actually live up to that permission. But yes, there will be a few stumbles as well.

Sometime last summer I decided to host a pity party and invite all my friends. Well, not all my friends, exactly. Only those whose livelihoods might have, like mine, been suffering from the downward slide of the economy. To make the guest list, invitees would have to possess the ability to grumble, gripe, groan, fuss, snarl, scream, fret, rant and complain -- preferably all at the same time. I wanted world-class whiners at my party. Optimists need not apply.

The caller sounded quite distressed as he explained,“I'm an outside sales rep, and my teleprospector quit. Therefore I have to do my own prospecting, and I hate it. I'm a good outside rep, but I'm freezing up when I have to call these people.”“What are you saying to them?”, I inquired.“I'm ____ with _______. We are a freight shipper, and I'd like to come out and take some of your time to explain what we do.”Analysis and Recommenda

When you are taking time away from work for motherhood, keep networking. The single most important thing you can do is keep in touch with former co-workers and other contacts. Are you a mom preparing to return to the workforce? Are you worried about filling the gaps on your resume? Assuming that while fulfilling your parental role, you were volunteering your expertise, and engaging (when time permitted) in activities related to your profession, there's no re
