Think BIG, Start Small

adsdsf,

"Anything worth doing is worth doing well."

That's how the phrase goes, right?

My take on it is a little different, here goes:

"Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly."

Huh?

Rarely is someone great at something the first
time they try it. But, the ones who become great
are willing to start where they are and invest
the sweat equity necessary to do it well.

So if you're going to dream big dreams, be
willing to put your ego aside and start small.

If you want to be a great public speaker, go
speak to a small social group for free.

If you want to write articles for magazines or
have a book in Barnes & Noble, start writing and
submit articles to e-zines or print off a few
copies of your book at http://www.lulu.com and
pass them out to anyone who will read them.

If you want to start training athletes - train
some for free until you've proven that you can
get results.

Do the things that are within your power to do -
and do them NOW.

Don't sit around and wait for your big break -
it's not going to find you.

You have to find it.

Side note: The reason I wrote about this was that
someone I was talking to today suggested to me
that they were just waiting for their "big break"
like the one that I got.

We were talking about goals - what their's were
and what mine was. Strangely enough, our goals
were similar and we set them at similar times.
But I got the "big break" of moving to a town of
23,000 that I had never been to before in
arguably the most fitness-unfriendly state in the
country to start a business with only about
$1500.

Add to this that I never had owned a business and
most of my professional expertise was in training
athletes or coaching baseball. Needless to say
that this wasn't exactly what I had in mind when
I was envisioning my 'big break' on the path to
my goal of being a millionaire doing what I
enjoyed. (Yep - that was my goal when I decided
to leave coaching).

Not there just yet - but my 'big break in
disguise' led to countless other opportunities
and a thriving business that has laid the
foundation for me to achieve my initial goal.
(There are different goals now - but I won't bore
you with those.)

Dedicated to Growing Your Business,
