Take That First Step…

August 13, 2008

It’s no secret that I’ve been over here working my butt off. Product launch, speaking, creating new ideas and products, networking, hitting the gym, etc.

I don’t consider that special and neither should you. But you should listen up to the message I have to share with you about taking that first step…

I notice that before I get started I tend to get a lot of anxiety. Those voices start going off, “What if this doesn’t work? Can you even do this? What will they say?” You know what I a talking about.

Those voices used to paralyze me from taking action. But I’ve learned that this is completely normal. It’s our body’s natural defense mechanism for keeping us safe.

The keyword from that last sentence was “safe.”

Being safe doesn’t get you to where you want to be. How many great leaders, role models and millionaires have played it safe and gotten to where they are now?

Exactly.

The other thing to keep in mind is that you NEVER know what’s going to open up for you after you just do it. And it never fails to amaze me what happens after I just get out there and do it.

So from my personal experience, I just completed the Business Credit Infusion product launch with my partner Mark. We didn’t set the world on FIRE like I had hoped but here’s what happened.

Lined up 5 speaking gigs because I got the attention of the people that were watching what was going on
Came up with with a new product idea (to be announced soon) that will empower more business owners and entrepreneurs
Systematized my business - It truly was a “duh” moment when I realized this at a Dan Kennedy Event in Orlando

There’s a whole lot more, but I’ll save it for another time. The most important thing to do is take that first step…you’ll never know what will open up for you!
