Climbing the mountain ..

From where I am standing .. the mountain is STEEP! The process of climbing it seems overwhelming ... impossible! Where & how do you begin to enter unchartered territory. Being an entrepreneur is certainly not for everyone, we all have different wants, needs. We ALL do have somethings in common .. we need an income. Why not take some control and create the income you want, you deserve. I mean it clearly is not going to come easy .. but if you work for it .. .. it just might come. I guess like everything else, the hardest part is getting started, taking that first step .. why??? I guess it is a mixture of reasons, Not knowing what to do or how to do it, not believing in yourself, thinking that success if for someone else not for you .. we CREATE so many road blocks to keep us in one spot .. to keep us stuck. Perhaps we have become comfortable being stuck .. I mean we know what to expect. What makes some people step out of the mud, and trust that they will land on a solid foundation .. and if not ... willing to accept the uncertainty that lays ahead if believe that the fruits of you labours will pay off. I guess the first part of your journey is to 1. Change your mindset .. be positive, you got yourself into the mess you may be in, so why can't you have faith, that you will also get yourself out of it. 2. Educate yourself: Read books on what you are working towards, learn from others, get a mentor, go to seminars .. the world is full of people walking the walk .. and thsey would be thrilled to share their journey with you .. and help you accomplish your dreams. 3. Proceed cautionously .. but proceed .. take the step, make goals, and re-evaluate your position often. Keep your finger on the pulse of your journey and make the necessary steps to reposition as needed. What are your successes? What advice do you have to help us take that step and steer our ship to success? What mistakes did you make that we can learn from? Look before you leap ----but, LEAP !!
