That day is today.
You might feel uneasy about it, you might not like it, but that’s the way it is. So, deal with it. You probably thought to yourself at some stage: “I have a super cool idea but I don’t know how, or if, it can make money.”
If this is what’s stopping you, you stand a good chance of missing out on Awesomeness. And awesomeness is not about adding a title to your name or about making more money. It’s about making that little change, and shouting “YES!!!” to that voice in your head. You know the one… it’s saying: “Do it, Do it, Do it!”
So, what DID you wanted to be when you grow up?
Now I’m not saying you can be ANYONE. (Just take a look at some of yesterday’s presidents) . I’m saying that you can DO anything, by being YOU.
Read that carefully.
You know the feeling you get when you’re out shopping and you see shoes that you just HAVE TO have, or the new i-thingy-ma-jig that just launched (or leaked), sitting there on a shelf calling out your name? All sense of reason and logic escapes you. You don’t care whether you have enough money, you just charge it and worry about the money later. (Or top up your credit!) This is the type of energy you should be channeling into your ideas; the sense of taking ownership of something great.
It all starts with having some fun. Loving what you do and being yourself. Facebooking or gaming all day is not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about taking that risk and putting the idea you’ve been “saving” into action. Ignore the cynical critics, (maybe even show them the finger,) and do it. NOW.
That day is today.
