"Don't show effort" ~ Billy Mays

Let me share something with you...from the heart...

I'm having an "emotional roller coaster" kind of day. We are launching SassaB this week and all day I have been asking myself, "Why aren't you EXCITED?!" Well...I figured it out.

I'm terrified. Will SassaB™ be the huge success I think it will be? That I am planning it to be? That I am praying it will be?

And I really didn't want to let you all know that. I want to be super confident and not let you or anyone else know that I am nervous. Doubting when I should be confident. Questioning when I should be certain. But...I want fellow inventors to know that it's OK to be nervous before and during the process of making your dream a reality. And maybe I had to let myself know that as well.

Billy Mays used to say, "Don't show effort." And I think we can apply that to many aspects of our lives, not just when shooting a Mighty Putty infomercial.

So mostly you will not see me show "effort" and instead you will hear of all the fun, hard work that I am putting into SassaB but for now...just to let you know...it does take "effort" and not always the "make it look easy" kind.

  1. Have I mentioned how I am living vicariously through you? Do you know that when you reach down deep and bare your soul and just state the obvious it makes us cheer for you even more. I so admire your unbridled honesty. Will there be a Facebook launch? Where we will be able to share and "like" SassaB? I sure hope so I am so anxious to help launch your dream into a viral trending success. Stay confident, stay strong, and yes I would say even stay nervous it keeps you real. Best wishes and continued prayers for the success of SassaB.
