Are You Interested Or Committed?
Too many
people stroll passively through life, intrigued by a whole slew of
possibilities to do what they love, but not committed to making any of them a reality.
What’s the
difference between interest and commitment?
·
Interest
reads a blog post; commitment applies that post day after day.
·
Interest works an hour a day on your business; commitment works
whenever time permits.
·
Interest procrastinates; commitment focuses on what’s important.
·
Interest makes excuses; commitment constantly acquires new
skills and solutions.
If you’re
struggling with this issue, ask yourself the same questions I asked myself:
Why are you holding back? What is stopping you from living the
life you’ve imagined for
yourself?
If you want
it bad enough, if you’re committed, you’ll find a way to make it happen.
If the
thought of slaving away in a cubicle for the rest of your life is a powerful
enough motivator for you to work your ass of in order to escape it, I invite
you to join me… and go for it.
You Know Enough
The biggest complaint I hear is this: “I would take action and get started, but I
just don’t know enough yet. I’m just not ready yet.”
To this I
have two responses:
1. There is always more to learn. The amount of information on the
internet is equivalent to a stack of books stretching from Earth to Pluto 10
times! If you keep waiting until you finish that book, podcast or video course,
if you keep waiting until you are ready, you will never be
ready.
2. You learn far more from
experience than consumption. I learned
more during my first product launch (1 week) than I did during the prior 6
months of ravenous information consumption. Concepts are introduced via
information; skills are honed through action.
Now, I’m not
saying you should blindly act for the sake of action, not at all. In fact, if
you want to be successful, learning MUST be a continual process. After
all, it’s hard to create value if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The key is
to distinguish between the kind of compulsive, ineffective learning that so
many new marketers struggle with and learning for the sole purpose of taking
action.
So don’t
wait to get started. Start now and correct your course as you go along.
You know
enough.
