My reason for not pursuing, is pursing, so to speak.
It's about money. What I would like to do, I would only be able to do comfortably if I had enough of a financial safety net in place to allow me to focus on the work, rather than the marketing.

I left the poll as only permitting one selection because, based on my experiences, there would be a general desire to select almost all of them. I also think that most of the restrictions we perceive are generally illusions placed on us by society, culture, and ourselves. |

If you owe the bank $100,000. and you can't pay them, *you* have a problem. If you owe the bank$100,000,000. and you can't pay them, the *bank* has a problem. As for me, I am pursuing my dream in a methodical, plodding, elephant eating fashion. That is, one bite at a time. I've always preffered being slightly cash poor but wealthy in personal satisfaction to the reverse. Having been self employed for so long has made me less averse to uncertainty than the average bear. It has also made goals materialize more slowly than if I just went to the bank and borrowed lots of cash and then spent the next 30 years paying it all off. I know a lot of people who have a colossal monthly nut the crack just to make their minimum payments. Their dreams seem more nightmarish to me.

If you owe a family member $100,000, everybody has a problem.

I guess my dream is...... to have dreams again. But I am basically doing what I want to do. If I were rich I could do it better.
