Center Networks Interviews Me

December 11, 2006 – 11:42 pm

Allen at Center Networks asked me a series of interesting questions for this interview he posted today. My favourite part:

Allen: What’s been your biggest mistake since you started your Internet career?

Tara: Not having enough faith in myself earlier on. Questioning my gut instinct. Not taking enough risks. It took me far too long to just go for it. I don’t know, I think this may be more of an issue for women (which is why there aren’t more of us starting new companies), so I’ve actually started a list of women who risk so that we can tell our stories and make it known that the worst thing that could happen probably isn’t all that bad.

Yep. Still working on that somedays. BTW…thanks to everyone for all of your support on the Mojo thing. I feel this Wordpress move and your support is already starting to work! :)

    It’s not just an issue for women; I tend to question myself and my decisions on a daily basis, even though I’ve discovered that I’m far more likely to succeed if I just “go for it”.

    Yeah, working from home can be really tough sometimes. I’m finding ConsultantJournal.com to be a good resource on the problems with working from home.
