The 1 Thing You Need to Know to Get Moving

The phrase Bold Move may seem daunting to some of you. I explained in a previous blog post that bold moves require faith, confidence, and trust. I think many of us have dreams that seem big and out reach. In fact, they may seem so large that they paralyze us. We make no moves at all, and our heads stay in the clouds. I don’t want this for you. I want to share with you the one thing you need to know to get moving, create momentum, and begin turning your dreams into reality. 

The one thing you need to know is to start small. That’s it! Start small. Take a step. Do something simple. Stephen Brewster and I touch on this a bit when we discuss Tribes, Transitions, and Trainers on the Bold Moves With JB podcast.  Accomplishing little things in the morning can help create momentum and set the tone for your day. This could be as small as making your bed. 

Maybe some of you want to start your own business. You spend a ton of time researching, thinking of the best logo, and trying to think of an amazing product. Forget all of that! Just start. You can always change your logo. You can pivot and sell a better product. Some of the best learning happens by doing. 

You don’t become a marathon runner by just going out and running a marathon. You become a marathon runner by running a little here and there, a mile, two miles, five miles, and your endurance builds up over time. Eventually through persistence and small incremental steps you become a marathon runner. It begins with the first step. It begins by starting small. 

Do you want to become a leader? Begin leading. Are you on social media? If you are and a couple of people follow you, then you have influence. Do you want to become a runner? Begin running. Do you want to become a writer? Begin writing. I think you get the point. Whatever it is you want to do, do it! Start small, and get after it.

What move do you want to make? What first step will you take in making your dream become a reality? What are you willing to change?
