@The-red-centaur Yeah I just want to echo what @FridgeMagnet said - for a long-term business goal like this, the optimism is going to have to be like a slow and steady drip feed. And just have the kind of confidence that your biology entitles you to - 30% of the time a placebo will work, even for stuff like knee surgery (The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton). So just being hopeful is going to put you in the frame of mind to make intuitive and effective business, creative and networking decisions, I reckon. Let the power of your mind carry you through the initial hiccups and disappointments. Not to make self-belief another burden to bear, but recognise your mindscape is capable of switching on and off your potential so let the balance be in your favour.
