This post started as journaling because I got triggered yesterday by a business coach using fear based marketing to attract clients. Fear based marketing uses a customer’s fears and insecurities to grab their attention and then offer the best solution to avoid said fears and insecurities.

I didn’t want to limit myself but the lack of organisation was holding me back of doing all the things I wanted to do as well as I had the fear of burning out. While planning in advance and scheduling time doesn’t come naturally to me and it is an effort, it is a habit and as everything in life it probably will take a bit of conscious effort and willpower to do but then it will become easier.
