Being out there...

Your reasons for NOT being out there:

  • I need to do more research.

  • I'm too busy with other stuff.

  • My idea is not quite right.

  • I don't have enough money.

  • I've got to earn a living.

  • The world is not ready.

  • I'm having a bad week.

  • The kids are having a bad week.

  • This is a bad month.

  • I'm not sure I'm any good at this.

  • I need more experience.

  • I'm too old.

  • I'm too young.

  • I don't have the right equipment.

  • I don't have the right space.

  • My mum will think it's stupid.

  • My dad will think it's stupid.

  • My friends think it's stupid.

  • I think it's stupid.

  • I'm busy today.

  • I'm busy with other stuff.

  • I'm busy with life.

  • I can do it tomorrow.

Of course all this stuff is just fear.

Get out there. Do something. Today. Whatever your dream project... today is the day to take the first (or another) step... do something to make it real. Put yourself on the line. Put it out there for judgement.  

There is one way to guarantee your idea not happening and that is doing nothing. Think about it all you like, mull it over, put it off another day... but if you don't get it out there (in whatever small way) then it is guaranteed to stay... just another idea.
