This credit card processing approval has been hell. First, I was denied by one processor because rental is apparently high risk. Now I have to submit a personal financial statement and personal bank account information to the other processor. Pain in my rear! Why don't I just use paypal? I don't know if I can. I need a reoccuring billing solution, so I sent an email to sales at PayPal to see if they can handle that.
The problem with the process taking so long is that I've had time to think now. Everything was happening so fast before that I didn't even think about "What if the business fails?" As I get closer to the official open of business, I'm getting more nervous about failure. I've told everyone I know about this business venture. I want to be known as a success and be able to quit my full time job. What if all my daydreams that have made me so optimistic don't come true? I haven't even been thinking of other ideas in case this one doesn't work out. What will I do next if this doesn't work?
Because I've told everyone I know, I also have to go through with the opening. I can't just bow out now because of my fear of failure. I'm just going to keep moving forward and hope for the best. I need to change my mindset from "I don't want to fail" to "I'm going to succeed." I can't imagine my stress level if I had tried to start a business with a large capital investment. The good thing is that my overall investment has been less than $1,000. The reward side of success is so much larger than the risk side of failure. The hard part is that even $1,000 is a lot of money to me right now.
"I'm going to succeed"
"I'm going to succeed"
"I'm going to succeed"
"I'm going to succeed"
"I'm going to succeed"
