The $100 Question: Tell Susan From Between Naps on the Porch What You Would Do if You Could Not Fail

If I couldn't fail, I think inventing a cure for migraines would be awesome. Especially considering I have zero medical or science background or really even an interest in. But, if I couldn't fail, then why not?

Maybe I would become an archeologist...

Or maybe I would run my own photography studio.

I would run a small pet shop or restaurant (I know, strangely different choices)

I would submit some of my written music to the movie industry! Since my music is so near and dear to my heart, I hate the idea of anyone else hearing it and not liking it, so I hoard it and rarely ever share it. Stupid, right?

If I could not fail, I'd become a full-time writer.

I'd leave my job and go to work for a non-profit doing something I really believe in and helping others.

Thanks! Great idea, sustainable bio fuels are a great option!!

If I knew I could not fail I would take piano lessons. I took for about a year when I was a child but I never really was successful. Today, at age 60, I would love to be able to play beautiful music and then use my skills to teach my grandchildren.

What would I do if I could not fail? The possibilities would be endless!

I believe the first line of business is breaking up the old boys club. You know the ones upstairs, pretend you are a member, but will never let you actually in...One by one I would crack the glass with my krptonotic power.

My second line of business is to ensure universal empowerment to all women. If, I had the resources, I would spend every penny in educating women throughout the globe, and helping them to get a headstart.

But this is all if I would not fail...A girl can dream for a brighter future for all women.

I would want to try an Iron Triathlon tomorrow if I knew I wouldn't fail, but nothing would be worse than training all that time and spending all the money to get a DNF.

Increase connectivity between women and discourage diminshing each other

I would probably start a new business. We're not in a position right now to take a risk, but it is in our future

"What would you do if you knew you could not fail?"

If I knew I could not fail, I would organize a quick and effective international squad to make sure than every single inhabitant on earth had the right to as much clean water they wanted and needed for the rest of their lives.
Water is the life source of everything, so with new water wells lives would be saved.

We may take it for granted to get up in the morning a pour ourselves a cup of coffee, turn on the dish washer, and drink a glas of cold water after a day in the sun.

More Clean water to the people!

I'd quit procrastinating, pick up my pastels and start becoming the artist I'm afraid to become.

When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe one of two things will happen: There will be something solid for you to stand upon or you will be taught how to fly. --P.O.<

My first thoughts led to a very long fantasy list with little resemblance to reality. I’m a dreamer out of control.

I’d love to head an archaeology dig. But I know me. I’d be tired of having gritty hair within a month. Better to list that as a vacation I’d like to take.

I’m also a doer that recognizes the one thing I would truly do if I knew I could not fail for lack of funds, talent, or time: Write for a living.

That’s it. Not a particularly fancy, noble, or exotic.

The best part: I’m taking the steps to achieve my dream even if I might fail.

When I succeed, I’ll tackle my list of vacation adventures.

I, on the other hand, would play the lotto. Then I'd have tens of millions of dollars to do everything else I want to do.

I actually wrote my first blog on this topic when I left a corporate position to start my own wellness education and coaching business last July. My answer hasn't changed since then. Here's the link: http://wwrcoach.com/what-would-you-do-if-you-could...

Skydive or ride a rollercoaster. Right now I know I would fail at both so I don't try either on. Rollercoasters make me sick and I have a HUGE fear of heights. Not a good thing to skydive with...

I coordinate fabulous movie rights for my husband's book.

I'd travel the globe, lugging the kiddos along, and write about all the amazing family-oriented things you can do overseas.

And I'd try to do as much good as possible along the way.

If I knew I would not fail, I would hold a seminar about copywriting. I think I could help a lot of businesses and push my own forward, if only I had the courage to stand up in front of a room.

Yikes! My palms get sweaty just thinking about it.

Pay all my bills and buy a home with a yard. All I want is a little place to grow old in.

I would open a kids restaurant!
I have all of the ideas ready to go and would have a blast...and so would the kids!

I would set out to find an old 1950's or 1960's travel trailer and paint it on the outside with beautiful designs and colors. And then I would fix it up really cute on the inside too. Then I would invite my highschool girlfriend to come with me to do some traveling all around the Southwest !

I would open a movie theater/brewpub in a historic building w/ my husband. Kids would be welcome & we'd serve really good food, too.

Also, I'd write & publish a children's book.

Not sure if these are posting, so I will try again. I would love to be an Event Planner designing tablescapes for large and small functions in a large city like Chicago.

If I thouhgt I cold not fail, I would want to start a business with Susan designing Tablescapes for beautiful parties. We both seem to have loads of stuff. Actually, I am amazed at how much alike we are. Separated at Birth??? No, I am older!

I would love to start a businees with Susan staging for parties and decorating the most wonderful tablescapes with our huge amount of dishes and decorations. She and I love all of the same things. I think we may have been separated at birth.

If I could not fail, I would become an Event Planner in a large city like Chicago.

I'd solve world hunger and economic inequality.

I'd start a bed and breakfast - my dream.

First I'd want to be selfish and be able to solve all the problems with my husband's thesis and find him the perfect job.

Give every individual would have everything they need to survive

I would want to be a singer...be able to really belt out a number. Or a dancer...or an author.

As I previously posted, I would open a fabric shop. There is an old building downtown in my small community that has a "C" design in the brick. I would buy that building for my shop as it's on the corner of the street. It catches my eye every time I pass by.

I would backpack across Canada.

I would change your mind on hemp.

...So I lost a bunch of weight and I started a business doing what I loved. I'm successful in my own opinion and it FEELS AWESOME.
If I couldn't fail... I would live a life doing things that I was always scared of doing.

Wait....! I can live that life now! Failings only help us to learn.

It's called Hemp, so rather than having to invent one... Just lobby for the reindustrialization of hemp for clothing, textiles, food, paper, ethanol, etc. :)

I would solve the healthcare issues in America.

My other dream is to finish my masters in nursing and not fail. That would be an accomplishment!

I would open a restaurant. It's always been my dream and my food would be so good I would always have business.

I would design my own clothing, shoes and purses - I have so many 1920's inspired ideas that are never found in stores - wish I could draw them up and have them made!!!!

I would like to start giving people cooking lessons in their home or tutoring kids

I would open a clothing boutique!

I would love to use my herbs for homemade bath and cooking products. Did you know herbal vinegars make great facial cleansers?!

First, I would expand my herb and veggie garden and start selling my crops
