There is a popular saying that: A
journey of a thousand miles starts with a step. Many people keep looking for
jobs and they refuse to leave the comfort of their room to go in search of one.
Half of any success you will record in life is in starting.
Many plan to start some business that
will bring extra income but never get started.
Some people make a resolution and
promise themselves, at the beginning of the year, that they would start saving
some money every month but never started.
While others complain that they would have started their
business but for the fact that there isn't enough capital.
Many planned wonderful things at the
beginning of the year and till the year ends they would not have started
anything.
The problem is not that they
lack interest; the problem is they do not know how to start.
Just imagine what the world would have
been like, if men did not start some things we are all enjoying today; the
light, the fast means of transport systems compared to what we had in those
early days. Imagine the devices we now make use of. All these are as result
that somebody started.
So also it is in making money in life.
As we know, many obstacles can keep even a highly motivated person from
succeeding.
Desire is not just enough to succeed in
life because if it was enough, then everybody would have become a millionaire
or very successful. Making money goes more beyond desire. Action is needed.
Financial success is like a book, and
starting to finishing are from the front to the back covers. Until you open
that first cover, you can't experience anything from the pages within.
Therefore there are some things
underlined below to get us started.
1. Start with yourself
The only person that can say no to you,
even when every other thing says yes it still will be no is you. To succeed
financially, you have to start with yourself. People who have succeeded in life
have always started with themselves; in life there is no one who does not have
the capacity to succeed. Start with yourself.
2. Start Early
Early to rise, Early to bed. Early to
start business or investment, Early to bed of enjoyment in life, because you
would have learnt all the lessons early in life. Do not wait until you are old to start a business or
an investment. Or are you the type that cannot start in December and want to
start in January because you think December is too early. January is just a
month like December that is at the beginning of the year. Start now. There can
never be any better time than now.
3. Start Small
The problem with too many people is
that they think they have to start big. And when there are no such resources
they remain rooted in one place. Please remember Rome was not built in a day,
and everything big started small. Nothing big started big; everything big
started small. Have you ever seen a tree that sprout up in a day? Then you
would have seen a magic somewhere. When you were given birth to you didn't just
grow up immediately. You did not start high school that same day. So, don’t be
in a hurry. Every true and lasting great wealth starts small. So don’t try to
get rich overnight.
4. Start with the future in
View
You have to project where you business
will be in future. What is your picture of the future? Start with that. You
have to project where your business will be in the future when starting. Just
like the airplane knows it destination from it’s starting so also your
business.
5. Start now.
The time to start is now. Yes, it is too
easy to say I will start tomorrow. We promise that tomorrow we will start a
business, a career or a relationship. But until we actually begin, a dream
remains a dream.
Successful people don’t wait for
everything to be perfect to move forward. They don’t wait for all the problems
or obstacle to disappear. They don’t wait until their fear subsides. They take
initiative. As soon as they take that first step and start moving forward,
things become a little easier. If the momentum gets strong enough, many of the
problems take care of themselves and talent can take over. But it starts only
after you’ve taken the first steps. so you need to start now.
Start that project now. Start that
business now. Start writing that book now. Start that investment now.
Start now. Start Now. Start now making
your future count now.
