Begin!
It has taken several trial runs and savage editorial slashes before I gave up and had an epiphany – just begin. Seth Godin, in his excellent blog and podcast, frequently calls for a start or an opening now – and not to wait for all the pieces to fall in place for a ‘Grand Opening’. It is easy to glimpse any success and see an overnight success story -if you don’t look deeper and find their long lead up and runway. At some point founders, leaders and creators wrestled with the thought of whether their creation was ready. Had they applied enough thought to the creation, had they considered all factors -are they ready? And then they began and worked away until they succeeded. Enthusiasm to begin is usually enough.
This call for energetic enthusiasm is shared by others. Kevin Kelly (Wired Magazine, entrepreneur and investor) shared in his thoughts that enthusiasm is a key leverage for success: “Being enthusiastic is worth 25 IQ points” – Kevin Kelly. 26 Oct 2020.
