DESCRIPTION
How often do you have a stunning business idea, an exciting project or a new-fangled gizmo that will take the world by storm, if only…? Well, consider this exploratory path, the steps if you will to success (based on one short comment made by Debbie Millman of Design Matters – “desire leads to courage leads to confidence”). Here’s hoping this will help you take the leap. Any leap. Be that a bold marketing move. A crucial small business decision. Or implementing video as a new communications tool. And to that end, remember there’s no sense spending time whining about what you can’t have. The critical initial decision is about the ‘what’ of it. It can get scary as you analyze fit because you’ll soon realize the most common stumbles are: lack of funding, poor people skills, reluctance to follow through, a mismatch in business or bad management. So, it’s vital that you ask yourself, if you want it, do you want it badly enough to go the distance?

Desire......passion or drive is the force behind everything. And it needs to be strong enough to counter the uncertainty of outcome – knowing that you’ll never have all the information you need at the outset and never feel completely ready to start.
If you’re waiting for that, don’t bother.

Just Showing Up......is the most important move you can make because it signals your unconscious that you’re serious. If that means butt-in-chair, making-the-call or walking-the-walk, do it!

It’s important to do a thorough post-mortem of your venture at its completion (or really at any step along the way). Distill the what, why and how of it. Focus is a powerful tool that will allow you to realize strengths, challenges, business priorities and the steps necessary to move forward.
So, ask yourself, what’s next?
