Sometimes I’ve got so many ideas for projects in my head that I wonder where I should start. What should I do first? When would be the right time? Who can I get to help me? Where will I get the funding?
These questions roll around my head with no clear answer in sight. Time passes. I kick these ideas around and around. They pop into my head randomly. Reminding me that while I have this great idea for a project, I haven’t done anything to bring it into fruition.
But the timing isn’t right. The idea isn’t fully formed. The partners aren’t in place yet. The funding hasn’t been finalized. And…….I could go on and on and on.
There will always be stumbling blocks in front of any project. There will always be funding and timing issues. However if I never take that first step towards making my idea a reality it will never happen. No amount of thinking about it will cause it to materialize unless I start.
Start what?
Start putting it down on paper.
Start making those calls.
Start asking for partners.
Start asking for the funding.
Yeah, I know. It’s hard. The Starting. What if I start and it doesn’t work out? What if I start and I’m not able to finish? What if I start and no one comes along to help me finish?
It is entirely possible you may start something and your project falls flat. Yep. It could happen. It is also entirely possible you may start your project and it may succeed.
How will you know whether your project will succeed or fail?
You won’t.
Unless you start.
