My biggest fear is that everyday chores and some parts of everyday life will eat up my time. I also fear I will not be able to create my deepest work. I do the work anyway but dealing with the obstacles is wearing.

Shayla- The first time I was on TV I almost threw up before the live interview. It just takes time to get comfortable with it. You survive one, then another and then at some point you really welcome such opportunities and have only normal anxiety. Be scared, but know that it is part of your job and you have to do it. If a large firm was paying you big bucks to speak to the media you would not let them down… you will not let you down either.

A big fear for me is approaching friends who I don’t necessarily speak to every week or even every month or longer standing acquaintances and asking for help or introductions. Knowing that some of my friends know people who would be my direct target audience or in another case one of my older standing acquaintances does daily business with the exact clientele that represents my ideal market. I guess the fear is that they will think I`ve only contacted them for this purpose.

I like Patricia C. Vener’s comment about learning from a dance instructor.

Linda, back when I was a ballerina I did a gig in a small semi-pro production of “The King and I.” Shortly before opening night the director came into rehearsal and told us that we had to approach reviews carfully, remembering that when they love us, they sure do know what they’re talking about but when they pan well, :what the heck do they know anyway?”

One of my biggest fear is that I won’t be able to sell, like some others here. I did get blown out of the water be a gallery a while ago, but in showing my work to other people and artists they all seem to like it. So that gallery owner can kiss my art.( thought I was going to say something else, didn’t yah!) Well anyway it taught me not to beleive in what some galleries think. So that was one fear down. Now it’s not being able to get enough work done to set up a show. But my fears have not stopped me from still working on my dream. So don’t let it bring your dreams down too!

My biggest fear right now is being on television and the radio. Some publicity has been arranged for me and instead of being excited, I’m scared.

This is something I just blogged about! My biggest fear right now is probably teaching. I’m seriously considering doing it, but I hate speaking in front of people and I’m afraid they’ll all hate me! Or maybe just not take me seriously. But I’ve been approached by my Guild and other people have suggested it as well. It’s just so scary!
