BTD16 - Ideas to Action (Pt 2)

August 13, 2018

In this episode, we continue our conversation about how to turn an idea into action, and we focus on 4 things that often hinder us from taking action on an idea we have.


Losing Passion - one of the best ways to ensure your passion for an idea is mature enough to sustain you is to purposefully distance yourself from your idea for 1-2 weeks.


Need for Resources - it can be frustrating to spend time getting resources instead of making progress toward your goal, but the reality is getting your resources is PART of achieving your goal. Embrace that fact and accept it as part of the process.


Fear of Failure (Personal) - no one likes to lose, and we often convince ourselves we are going to lose even before we start. One way to keep yourself from extinguishing your own flame is by ensuring you have realistic expectations for yourself.


Fear of Failure (Social) - we all care about what other people think about us. Whenever you worry about what anyone will think of you if you fail, just remember that you are at least doing something that few other people are trying to do. Take pride in that and let that motivate you.
