| How Do I START? |
A
couple of months ago, I read a statement from on of my top marketing mentor Dan S. Kennedy In one of his newsletters
of which I am a subscriber. I happen to be an ardent follower of Dan’s
teachings on marketing matters and when I tell you he’s the best in the world
of direct marketing, I guess you won’t doubt that.
The
statement reads….”you don’t have to get perfect to get started……you have to get
started you’ll be perfect!
I
totally agree with that statement and I think its worth reading a second time.
The statement is stressing on why you should not wait for everything to be
perfect before you start whatever it is you want to embark on.
You
see my dear reader, so many of us have great dreams of starting something
worthwhile. We dream of starting a business venture, we dream of getting more
knowledge on a particular field, we dream of establishing an NGO, we dream of kick
starting an online business, but the truth is that most people never achieve
those dreams not because the don’t believe the can make it, but because they
are waiting for everything to be right, the are waiting for all the lights to
be green.
But
to be honest with you dear friend, things will never get perfect until we make
the perfect. We have to start from somewhere before perfection comes in. if you
don’t, things will remain the way they are. Like the saying goes “One average
action is better than one million fantastic intentions”.
If
you have a great dream of doing something and you keep waiting for something to
be right before you start, you will remain on that spot for as long as you wait
while the person who has an average dream that take action will keep growing
while you look. That is the principle of success in life. Action determines
result. Why do you think they refer to the burial ground as the biggest bank for
great ideas? It’s because many folks die with a lot of untapped potentials.
I
once had a dream of starting a skill acquisition training outfit and for two
years, I was planning and waiting for one thing or the order to be put in place
before I start, I want to have it all set up before I lunch out and for two
whole years I keep planning. Nothing worked out for me until I finally decided
to take the bull by the horn and start my venture from the very position I was.
As I writ this article, I have personally created three extra stream of income
from that idea alone.
Now
that is a great lesson for everyone who I reading this post. You’ll never get
to that position you are aiming by waiting for things to be perfect but until
you start from somewhere. Successful people are not those that have several excuses
for not succeeding, they gone past all the excuses to do something great for
themselves.
Do
you have a dream to be an entrepreneur? Do you want to get more education? Are
you having reasons for not getting things done? Well, the truth is out now… you
don’t have to get perfect to get started all you need to do is to get started
and the perfection will follow.
