The power of starting
Don't procrastinate any longer. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. We don't know what's in store for us tomorrow. And so why not start today? Personally speaking, I have started a few business, a couple of which were ecommerce businesses. And I did my research, as you should. I tried to identify my audience and all that, and then I got started. Now, crazy story

And I literally had to have the hard conversation with myself the other day where I said, okay, JL, you are saying what you will achieve by X Date 2023 with this new business you just started and what you want to continue with a business you started last year. I'm a new entrepreneur and so if you have these goals that you claim are going to come to pass, you have to do the work in order for it to happen

But what gives me satisfaction is to know that I took a step towards my end goal every single day, even if it's just one thing that I got done, so long as I did that thing, and it's contributing towards the end result of my vision, then that's what matters. I can take satisfaction from that. And so I encourage you to do the same. As long as you're taking action every day, you're doing one thing, two things towards your goal

I just wanted to say, like, thank you for this. I kind of wasted a lot of my day this morning sleeping, but I eventually got to work. And you mentioned your wife is kind of a perfectionist and you would rather get things done, and it just made me think, I'm both. I want to get things done. I want to just start executing so I could put a dent into my workload

A lot of times when we try to take big chunks at a time, it deter us from wanting to even get started because it feels too much. It feels overwhelming. So if you pace yourself, take small bite size pieces at a time, you know, you find that you're able to accomplish more that way. Another thing that worked for me that I would suggest also is finding a mentor, someone that is a subject matter expert in your particular field and let them mentor you

One of the things that stood out to me me, when she talks to me in response to my swells, she says post. No matter what, no matter how you're feeling, show people you and different sides of you. That's how people get to know you. That's how you gain a following and things like that. So I feel like this is more validation. It's kind of piggybacking off of what you're saying. So thank you for this

Hey, braxton, thanks for listening to my swell. I'm glad that it is of some value to you. That is my goal and intent. And yeah, I just want to remind you, man, just keep going, man, just start and if you've already started and you're feeling somewhat discouraged, just keep going. 1ft in front the other. Just remember that everything that we do, especially as it relates to wealth building, everything that we do, it will take time
