Often times people delay their dreams because they want to make sure they have everything just right, or they are waiting for the perfect circumstances to be present, before they start. Having knowledge of what you are doing is extremely important, but so is just starting. There will be some things you can only learn along the way through experience. -First comes the idea, then comes the action- "I don't know enough", "I'm not ready", "The timing isn't right", "I'm scared", "I don't have the resources", etc. etc. Yes, you can convince yourself that all of these are legitimate reasons to postpone your plans. But, the fact of the matter is, those are just excuses. They are your minds attempt to "protect" you from potentially doing something that will put you at risk. The risk of failure to be exact. Yes, failure can be very uncomfortable, and it can point to all the ways you aren't good enough. But that's only one way to look at it. Failure can also teach you valuable lessons if you let it. Lessons that build the pathway to your success. However, you won't learn those lessons unless you get started. Stop waiting for the perfect circumstances to prevent themselves, because they don't exist. In fact, don't even think of your attempts that don't succeed as failures. Consider them as lessons. Consider them as practice to find out what works and doesn't work. Consider it your investment into perfecting a product or service. You have the ability to control how you look at your efforts, so when you allow in the thought that you failed or if you give up, that's when it's lethal to your plans and dreams. One of my favorite philosophies is that it takes 10,000 hours of doing something to become a master at it. That means if you spend 3 hours a day working on your craft, you technically wouldn't be considered a master until nine years from now. So, ask yourself, how much time are you dedicating to the perfection of your craft? That's another reason to just get started! The sooner you start, the more ground you can cover just like in calculating compound interest.

Hello All! And welcome to my Skool.
