I mentioned a podcast that I really enjoyed earlier this year called Build and Launch by Justin Jackson. Check it out! It’s a lot of fun. The premise of the show is that he’ll create and launch a new product every week. He would announce a product idea on Thursday, and launch it before the following Thursday. One thing that he he said over and over again that has stuck with me:
“Start small, start now.”
I repeat that when I start to feel the fear of over-thinking, over-planning, and out-of-my-leaguing it. When I start to feel like this project is just too big. Who am I do do this thing? Who am I to be that successful? How can I even think about going that far?
“Start small, start now.”
Let go of all that fear that you’re building up around your new idea. Fear builds walls that look like a protective barrier against potential threats. But Fear-Walls are unstable and they will collapse and destroy your idea. Luckily, action will temporarily halt fear production. So make stuff.
“Start small, start now.”
Happy Wednesday!
