We all know that at some point, you have to start somewhere to make ‘it’ happen. Rather like ripping off a plaster, you always feel better when it’s done.
Taking the first step can often be the scariest, but this only needs to be done once and can even be fun, then the second, third, and so on seem so much easier as you start to enjoy the feeling of achievement.
I’ve spent, what feels like an absolute eternity creating The Mastery Venture – procrastination can last a long time if you let it!
If I’d kept going the way I have been I’d never get anywhere, everything would still be in draft and my wish to help people to help themselves the way I have would be nothing more than a dream.
I could have continued striving for perfection, a little more of this and a tweak to that, etc., but I needed to take the leap and just put it out there. Being overly fancy and complex won’t enable me to progress or support anyone, but by keeping my ideas simple and actioning plans in small manageable steps I’ll gain much more headway.
Now I’ve taken my first step and released The Mastery Venture out into the big wide world, every subsequent move from this point forward will feel more comfortable. As I move steadily towards my goal, I fully intend to enjoy the journey, which I see as more of an adventure as I wait to see where it takes me and how it evolves over time.
I still have heaps more to add to get the business where I want it to be, but I’m going to grow this over time. It’s a new project and as with most new projects, there will be changes and adaptations along the way, so an open minded approach is vital.
We learn from our experiences and must be prepared to rework anything that doesn’t go to plan, overcome obstacles that get in the way, and take note from setbacks, using everything we go through as a learning experience. Remember, every day’s a school day!
Making progress, no matter how little, is the key to gaining and maintaining momentum. Once you are on your way, in the right direction, you will feel so much happier and motivation will drive you forward.
If I can make my dream a reality, you can too.
