"I am inspired by this course and wish to complete it before I venture into my business"

I had a success story 20 years ago in my country of origin. However, my life took a deep dive into different realms and I had to abandon my dream and bring my kids to another country, very different from mine. I left all my relatives, friends and fans far behind. I left my practice and success behind and then came to Australia for a better future for the children. It was excruciatingly difficult leaving all that behind, leaving my life's purpose behind. Being here, starting life once again, going to University to attain Australian certification, Australian jobs and house and a mortgage. my dreams got left far behind. I felt the deep loss, however soon came to terms and delved myself into work and resettlement. 
After 20 years, its like my dream will not rest. I wanted to start my business and do the things i always wanted. I wanted to experience the same success I did in my country here. I somehow feel a huge difference. It seems like I have to now catch up with new mediums of communication i never knew before. I feel like a fish out of a pond into the big sea and learning to deal with the waves and the other big fish. It seems like I am constantly catching up. Money is required for everything one does and therefore, once again, i need to work, but then find no time for business. I know it will take time, one day at a time. 

I am inspired by this course and wish to complete it before I venture into my business. So, here I come, with all of my commitment and grit. I will succeed, just as I did before. I have it in me.
