Welcome to the first in what I hope will be a long series of Motivational posts, aimed at artists and creators, makers and shakers of all kinds....but I'm sure others will get value from these posts too.
Four very powerful words,to get you started when you feel stuck
START: It doesn't matter, how, what, why or where....the operative thing here is to start. Start right now. There are no wrong ways and You are the only barrier to starting.
SMALL: There's nothing wrong with small. Everything, even in nature starts small. From little acorns do great oak trees grow. Small keeps us grounded and less fearful of taking huge risks. It gives us the courage to at least 'have a go'. START SMALL: There's nothing wrong with starting small. Most companies and big ideas start small. Starting big would be foolish....better by far to take baby steps and feel your way through.
THINK: Never underestimate your thinking time. Thinking encourages planning and vision. Without thinking nothing would get done. Thinking brings about your creative side. But be careful not to think too much and talk yourself out of it!BIG: Now, here's a word. Big is your focus and vision. It's where you would like to be....sometime in the future. Where the particular road you are travelling down could end up. Stay focused on that vision.
THINK BIG: Oh yes! Definitely THINK BIG! If you think big thoughts and dream big dreams you never know where you will end up.
The art of Start Small, Think Big
Start very simply.
On a piece of paper rule 3 columns.
At the head of the columns write Short,
Medium and Long Term Goals.
SHORT TERM: The immediate problem, idea or focus. The 'Getting Started' bit.
MEDIUM TERM: Give yourself a year. Decided where you want to be after one year is up....again, commit to your sub conscious mind by writing this down.
LONG TERM: This can be any time scale. I tend to look as long term at around 3 years. By setting the long term goals and looking at the short term ones, things will become clearer as to how to get from A-C....The B section (Medium term) will give you your plan of action.
Above all never forget these 4 powerful words:
START SMALL, THINK BIG
