"Great to hear your idea! So why don't you start? " " I don’t know how to do this? " BECAUSE I WANT TO DO IT is also not really a viable option just because you think it will work doesn’t always mean it will, also there are a lot of variables and debate to this discussion. However, on the other hand, there are a lot of I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS people, I was too on the same page once, but I say this because I experienced a pole shift in the way I use to think. It is true that to understand people, you need to understand yourself first and I embarked on the "Know Thyself" journey where I am still figuring out parts of me that will allow me to be more self aware of what I do and how I approach things and help me take better decisions for my life and success. We cannot be anybody, but as uniquely as possible we will be distinctly us. Each of us are wired differently but to get stuff done, to get your life rolling, universally we are all wired the same way. We have to get up and start dancing, we get up and take responsibility. This is one of the greatest era to be live in, where you have all the information you require at your fingertips, to make the product you want, to make the connection you want, to make the relationships u want. Excuses. I believe these are all excuses. Because you must be good in something and if you are not you should not waste a single time complaining rather than going out and acquiring that skill you need to deploy on your dreams. What if I don’t have the leverage? That is again another excuse for the fear of failure. Ok you want to build a shoe company you go out find someone who makes the shoes, you either make him a partner or you could hire him if you have the money, you don’t know how to market them? find another partner who knows marketing and work it out. And what if you don’t want a partner, then you should go ahead and apply and spend all your time learning about the craft of making shoes, learning about marketing, sales and then using those skills to get your brand on to the market. So you see? In this year 2017, where all the information you need is at your finger tips? There is really no scope to complain - you have Youtube, Google and a dozen other sites providing you each and every information you require to do anything that you want to do in your life. This is one of the greatest era to be living in, where you have all the information you require at your fingertips, to make the product you want, to make the connection you want, to make the relationships u want. If we don’t collectively use this opportunity then then we are all doing us a big disfavour. And the only way we can guarantee that any of the things that I said will work? is we have to try, over and over and over again, i know it is easier said than done. But I give you my word, if we put all our time in building us, learning , gaining knowledge and studying the things we can IMPLEMENT, that is when our lives will start to change for the better. Bottom line is, Yes we can. Excuses won't work, we have to. |
