Taking the plunge

When do you start? Taking the plunge from reader, watcher, or dreamer, to action taker, risk taker, getting your feet wet.



This is the step so many people have trouble with due to fears, financial limitations, or other people whispering in their ear (or screaming) "Don't do it, I know someone..." The truth is, that everyone can fail OR everyone can succeed! Too many times I have heard people say "That is not possible" or "It can't be done" but I'm here to tell you, everything is possible and YES it can be done.

Whether it's ourselves or someone else, "Get out of the way!" If you say in your head, "I can't do it" then get out of your head! If you say "But, what if..." get rid of your BUT!

If your friends say "Oh I wouldn't do that" then look at what they have and see if you like what they do for a living or the kind of income they have, or their spouse, or the food they eat. If you want exactly what they have, then listen to them and Don't do it. But, if on the other hand, you want something different than that friend, then Don't Listen to Them! They don't know how to get what you want.

If you keep doing what you are doing, you will continue to have the same results that you had yesterday. However, if you try something new, you will have new results! The saying "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" doesn't mean to keep doing the same thing over and over, it means, try one way, then another, then another, until it does work. And how great it would be to follow in someone's footsteps, to do what works, and not make mistake after mistake.
