Is living your dream worth taking a risk?

I think Cuban-French author, Anais Nin, had love in mind when she said:

"And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."


But as an entrepreneur, this quote speaks loudly to me. I recently wrote a post on the Home Staging Business Report sharing my own personal story and why it was worth the risks I took to make my dream of living a creatively fulfilling life come to fruition by starting my own home staging business. You can read that story here.
