Waiting to book course & all of a sudden scared!

[MrsR]

I've blogged this but typing it out freake dme even more and so I need calming and thought I'd re-type it here.

I am waiting for my money to be paid into my account for my course (I am borrowing it from a friend), then I can phone and book the CND Foundation course now its a lot of money (might not be to some but it is to me) and its a HUGE step for me to take and pretty my gamble on and now its all coming together I'm starting to get freaked and am scared - sorry if that seems stupid.

Did anyone else get really scared just before they paid out for a course?

I know nothing is certain in this life and I know that this is going to be a lot of hard work and graft and I have a long road ahead of me and that doesn't scare me its the paying out I think as funds are tight for me at the moment. Gettign started and startign to earn extra will be a huge help so I know its not something I am throwing my money away on but I'm still dead nervous. I don't want to back out at this stage but so nervous. I don't want to tell my hubby this as he will say "I support you whatever your decision" so that won't really help!

Am I over reacting?

I think it's only natural to worry about spending such a large amount of money on something that seems to only be going to last 5 minutes but you just need to stay calm and think about all the experience you will leave the course with.
I would love to do this course and think you are very lucky.

I worry about spending money, no matter how large or small the amount!

If you really feel that now is the time to do the course then go for it, don't let anything hold you back and i'm sure you will make the most of it.
It's only money :hug:

I felt just the same. I was 50 when I did my foundation course and was terrified of looking like a fool, not being able to do it, not being able to absorb the information etc etc etc.

In the event I thoroughly enjoyed it, practised morning noon and night, studied the theory in bed and got 100% in my written exam.

You will be fine - it is natural to worry it is all so different. HTH

You sound just like I was 4 years ago- poohing in my pants about the comittment- money - will my old brain cope !!! - Once you start you won't look back.... yes you will have stressed days - days where you think you have lost the plot but generally it will probly be one of the best experience of your life!!

Enjoy it - grab the opportunity with both hands

christ hun yes, read some of my old blogs, i had money sitting there for ages and had probs getting a model etc, then a few times i just chickened out of booking it lol, when my hubby told me at xmas book the course or ill spend the money , i had to book it, i rang up to enquire about dates and booked it there and then came off phone , threw up and then came on here in fit of nerves 'omg what have i done,etc etc'

so yes ive been there done that lol

dont worry chick you will be fine , you will love it and wish you'd booked sooner xx

 

[shellpink]

YES! I felt excactly the same! I booked mine (& paid dep) in january, start mine next week! I was really nervous about... spending the money, will I actually do this as a job afterwards? will I be any good!? but thought...... you gota try things in life!

At least we are starting with a highly known, professional company & have spent our money wisely, some spend £££££££££..... then do the foundation CND course anyway!!
GOOD LUCK WITH IT AND GO FOR IT!!!

Its natural to feel the way you are. One it is a big step and two when funds are low you wonder will you be throwing it away. You wont be! If it is your goal/dream to do the course then you have nothing to worry about. The training is easy to understand and very thorough. The trainers are human lol and they also went through what you are once upon a time. The products are gorgeous to work with also. Never be affraid to ask any questions no matter how silly you think they will be, cause I bet a few others in the class will be wanting to ask the same. Once you have paid for the course, allow the excitement to set in, as it will be money worth spending.

Enjoy sweetie

Im sure you will get on fine, I think the most worrying thing is, you think , have I spent all that money on the right course?

From what Ive read on this sight you ll have no problems with Creative.My first course was an intensive one , if id known then I would of not wasted nearly a thousand pound on this course, what it was going to be like,and as long as youve got someone to keep in contact with if you have any problems , Im sure you will be fine.All the best with it..enjoy..I envy you going on a Creative course.:lol:

The tutor Deborah at milton Keynes is a darling, im sure that goes for all CND tutors ..

Stop worrying it will be fab x

Now just you listen to me young lady, get it booked!!!!!!

You've been so unhappy with where you are now, you need to move onwards and upwards.

I can really relate to where you are, I hated my job and needed to get out. Thats probably why you are feeling nervous, because its the first step in a life change for you.

Trust me, you will not look back once you've done it. Its not always easy, and if you can start saving a bit here and there now, it will make things easier for you when it comes to buying your products to get set up, and also for when your business is new and not making much money. Even if you cant do that though, dont worry. The help is out there for you when you are a new business. You should be able to claim some working tax credit, possibly some council tax and housing benefit, and there are kickstart schemes that can give grants and loans to new businesses.

And before you say it, dont feel bad for claiming what you are entitled to. How long have you worked and paid tax?? Well its time you saw some benefit from it, its not as though you are planning to sit at home and do nothing, you have a plan to build a business. I see so many people sit on the dole for years with no intention of getting a job that I think its nice to see people benefit when they are trying to do something for themselves. (ooh a bit off topic there but never mind!!)

So, get that blimmin course booked, dont make me come down there!!!!:green:

ooh and p.s dont forget, all the geeks are on here to help you through any bits you might struggle with!!
