I need some input and advice--I've recently decided to change the focus of my business. I've been wanting to do this for awhile, but I'm essentially being forced to do it now due to some structural changes in my industry that are beyond my control. Anyway, I try to rationalize it by saying that "my bridges are burnt" like Steve suggests. I've done a good job so far staying "on task" and positive as I implement my 180 degree change in my business model, but every now and then I get overwhelmed by fear, anger, etc. that I'm being "forced" to make such a huge change that I'd be better off doing gradually.

I'll be OK in the long haul, but how do you suggest I approach this to keep a positive mindset?
