Time to Talk

    I realized that I need to get over one of my fears. See I am great at talking to others and being an activist. I can champion for the under dog, everyday and never get tired. I can make a passionate speech that would make an audience cry. I have created books, plays and screenplays that moves people. I can tell a story that will have you begging me to continue. However, when it comes to asking for help with my business I go silent. 

So today I had to call some local agencies about collaborating together to get the information out to the people who want it.  However, when it came time to call them I panicked and didn't know what to say. I put it off for several hours. I let myself get distracted by phone calls, weather forecast, scheduling a doctor's appointment, etc. 

My issue is when it comes to talking about myself to assistance, I feel like I am being a bit egotist. Plus, I feel bad asking for money, equipment, etc. I hate sales and to ask for donations, sponsorship, or funds you have to sale. You have to sale yourself, your idea, your product, etc. 

What does this have to do with "The Arthritic Cook"? This is the program I was trying to get the funds and equipment for it to grow. I know that their is a serious lack of information out there for us people with arthritis that wants to still cook in their own homes.
