15 Mar Get Started
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to get started on something, now is the time. While I’m sure you don’t need my permission to move forward, you might need your own. Self-doubt can be a pretty big obstacle.
If you’ve had even the slightest inkling of initiative but have been stifled by fear or doubt or something else, I recommend reading Seth Godin’s new book, “Poke the Box“. It might give you the push off the branch you need to really fly. It’s well-written and a quick read. It’s really his manifesto calling people to action with the thesis that everyone can be innovative. Well, not everyone, but innovative people can exist anywhere, from those with authority over a Fortune 500 company to those with barely authority over the mail room. Your job description doesn’t matter. Initiative and the ability to overcome fear is what matters.
