The hardest part is starting.
While today’s article is going to focus on this from a business aspect, you really can apply this to just about every area of your life.
Today’s topic: starting
For most people (myself included), just getting started on something new is the hardest part. Have you ever noticed that? Once you’re started you get in the zone and you’re good to go on the project.
For example, just think about how many people have to practically drag themselves out of bed in the morning. Just starting the day is tough.
And it applies to your business as well.
For several months, I had been planning on writing a manual on how to start a home based business. At the beginning of every week I’d plan to start on it yet at the end of the week, nothing would be done.
Then one Saturday, I decided I was going to get started for 30 minutes. After those 30 minutes were up, I could stop if I wanted to.
Well, I ended up writing for about 2 hrs and deciding I’d had enough for the day. And you want to know what starting resulted in? I had the entire rough draft of the entire manual written by Tuesday.
Once I got started, it took me all of four days to write it, yet it was months before I ever got going on it.
Why?
Because getting started is truly the most difficult part of any project for most people.
Just think about if you need to write something. What’s the toughtest part? Looking at that blank page. However, once you get going, it’s generally pretty easy to keep going.
It’s physics really.
According to Sir Isaac Newton and the first law of motion, “An object in motion tends to stay in motion.”
Remember that also means something at risk also tends to stay at rest unless you do something about it. Once you get momentum started, though, it’s easy to keep going.
So if you’ve ever having a day where you just don’t want to do anything, commit to just starting. Don’t worry about finishing anything, and you just might find yourself having a productive day.
