Start From Where You Are

Do it.  Start where you are.  Start now.­­­­

I don’t care where you are right now.  If you can’t start something right now where you are, then you’ll never be able to start anything.  And if you can’t start, then you’ll never be able to finish.

If you want to be an actor, LA may be the place you should go.  But if you’ve never even been on a stage in Podunk, USA, then you probably won’t fair too well in Hollywood.  It doesn’t matter how great you say you are or how great you really are, if you’ve never had experience acting, how do you expect to make it just because you’re somewhere else?

People always think that being somewhere else is the solution to their problems.  True, at times it helps to be around more people, more businesses, more schools, more experiences.  But these things can also cause more hindrances.  More to compete against, more to steal your attention, more to take up your time, more to spend your money on.  If you can’t make it where you are, you’ll never make it somewhere else. 

Want to start a huge multi-national business that earns billions a year?  Start in your basement or garage.

Want to write the next best-seller? Fire up your computer and start writing, every single day, with every 5-minute window you have.

With the internet, you can do anything from anywhere, at any time.  No excuses.

Look around you right now. 

This is the place you will start from.

The next action you take needs to be the one that will set you on a course toward your goal.
