Fear is one of the biggest things that drives me on. I've basically always been afraid of failing, but more than that, I've been afraid of not doing anything that makes me proud. Might sound silly, but I always ask myself, what would I look back on at the end of the year, that I've achieved, that will make me proud? If the answer's 'nothing' then it's time for me to do something. Think I'm set this year though, moved country and started a business. :) Great post Vero, packed full of good advice and common sense.

And at 58, I still can use the 'get it started'. Good for the every day stuff too, right? As an an example, I never thought I would drive around in the rental van with the whole family, straight out of Heathrow... what a buzz. Yes, that was the week of your wedding. But Britain is full of nice people.. and polite drivers. Powerful and personal peptalk. And at 58, I still can use the ‘get it started’. Good for the every day stuff too, right?
