How do you eat an elephant?
Embarking on a new online venture or making a significant life change can often seem like a monumental task. It's like standing at the foot of a mountain, looking up, and wondering how you're ever going to make it to the top. This feeling, where everything appears insurmountable, can bring about a sense of lethargy and a lack of motivation, often mistaken for depression. You see the success stories of others and can't help but think… "How did they manage that? Is there something wrong with me?" Let's get one thing straight. Most things in life worth doing are hard. But how do you tackle these seemingly gigantic challenges? Step 1 - Get Clear on Your Goals The very first step is to get crystal clear on what it is you want to do. Without this clarity, you're essentially wandering without a map. This clarity might not come to you overnight. It could take days, weeks, months, or even years. But it's crucial to establish this first. During this phase, it's important to be kind to yourself. Don't stress over forcing ideas to come to you (easier said than done, I know). Some might disagree with this, but in my opinion, I don’t think you should try and learn from YouTube. No, this isn't because I want to sell you a course. I've always said you can get the most information from a book. I say this because, in my experience, the content you'll find on YouTube has no real educational substance, at least not enough to give you a clear vision of how to start a business. Everything that has ever yielded me results has come from courses and books, not YouTube. And remember, being overly critical of yourself serves no purpose. The path will become clear in time. Self-torture is not unnecessary. Step 2 - Start Small and Build Momentum Here lies the essence of addressing big challenges. You don't need to overhaul your life in a day. Maybe today, you work on your idea for 30 minutes. Perhaps tomorrow, you don't work on it at all. That's okay. The key is to start small and gradually build momentum.
