Go For It!

I am convinced that the biggest single reason why people don’t chase the dreams more often is because they listen to the ‘good opinion’ of others. They start of with this burning desire in their hearts and then seek council from others as to what they think.

 

That’s their biggest mistake.

 

Friends and family (usually with good intentions – but sometimes with their own self-interest at heart) point out all the ways it could fail, how they could lose money or credibility and that they are setting themselves up for huge disappointment down the road. They listen and take in these negative viewpoints and almost via a process of osmosis start to agree and the fire gets dampened.

 

Years later they look back and wonder what if…

 

Don’t wonder what if, ever! Ask for advice by all means but keep you eye on the goal and realize up front that people are scared of change and there will be a line of people that just can’t wait to tell you why it’s not a good idea and you’ll fail. That is the point at which you smile and say, “That’s what they told Walt Disney and thousands of other hugely successful entrepreneurs”
