Just Start! Here are Your First 3 Steps

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it 1,000 times. JUST START!…but where?!?!

•

I remember hearing these words as I declared that I wanted to start a business. The truth is that I really, really, really began to dislike these two small words early on in the process. Yet, they were true.

•

I remember feeling pulled in 10 different directions with the ideas I had and where I could potentially start. I wanted to go all-in but that seemed scary. I knew I could start small but that didn’t feel like enough.

•

I got there eventually, but the truth is that if I just would’ve just started sooner, I would be farther along and have avoided a few months of anxiety that came from hesitating to apply my passion. If you have a problem you want to solve or a passion to show, here are 3 tips to help you start sooner.⬇️

1) Remember that in the end, it is your life, not somebody else’s. If you feel called and want to do something, DO IT! Not everyone is going to understand. Your life, passions and direction is between you and God.

2) Right down your why and the vision you have. From here, write down what needs to happen to get there and don’t stop until this list has something on it that you can do TODAY. It might be as simple as a phone call, social media post or text message. Whatever the one thing is that you can do right now, do it. Then do the next little thing and the next little thing and soon enough you’ll be doing BIG things. 

Pro Tip: Remember little wins are also big wins😉

3) Tell a friend, family member or colleague. You are more accountable and likely to follow through with projects if you’ve declared your dreams and plans to someone else.

You may be saying, “Shaye this is all easier said than done.” My response to you is wouldn’t you rather live your life knowing you tried and failed than in regret for never trying? Not trying feels harder than the 3 steps above…at least that’s my mindset😉
