5 Great Ways to Get Started

In honor of our first publications, today's 5 Great Ways is 5 Great Ways to Get Started

1. Write it down. Putting your vision down on a paper is an easy, fast way to take inventory of where you are and what you take action on first.

2. Bounce around. Bouncing ideas off a friend or family member can help you get a different perspective by seeing things through their eyes. If you find yourself stuck or in and endless cycle of procrastination, explaining your ideas and situation out loud could be just the ticket to flip the switch to allow you to get moving.

3. Break out of your rut. If you find yourself unable to get started day after day it may be time for a break from everyday life. Do something spontaneous and new to give your brain the shake-up it needs to get in gear and be ready for action.


4. Make a list.  Outline the exact steps you need to take to make your vision a reality. For extra motivation  allow yourself to do the easiest tasks first. This will give you a sense of confidence to carry you through the tougher tasks yet to come.


5. Just do it! You're never going to have the perfect plan or have every last detail accounted for and in place. At some point you have to stop preparing and take the plunge!  Once you take a few small steps of action you might its much easier than you had imagined, making the rest of your journey smooth sailing.
