Don't have to be perfect to get started - Be 85% ready
Since I was 19, I have always wanted to run a business, whether it was MLM or some You Tuber quick rich sales scheme, I wanted that success like they had. I often failed at it, never really understanding the amount of work necessary or just got frustrated with the whole thing and quit. I want you to share some things I struggled with that may help you.
Let's get right to the point
- Doing nothing is worse thing you can do. Before WA, I had spent money on a webinar thinking it would make me very successful. I watched it, I thought I learned how to be an online success but unfornately I did nothing with it. I paid for the course and basically did nothing with it. Some may say, well you learned from it. Yes but if you don't apply what you have learned, it is a waste IF don't something with it. It's better to try or fail with the information than spend money and wait for that success to roll in. It's OK to make mistakes, it's better than doing nothing at all.
- Don't look for excuses or give in to the excuses that surround you. Don't be the person who gives up at the first sign of failure. If you want to be a passenger in life, this is fine, go with the flow, you'll be OK. If you want to control your destiny, be the captain of your ship. It's OK to go off course once in a while, as long as you get back on course. Don't give in to the excuses that hold you back.
- Don't worry about your competition or who you are competing with. Realize your only competing with you.
- Don't be stuck in the prison within your mind. Worry less about what others think. Drop the personal excuses why you can't. Being perfect at everything never happens. There is no better time than now to build your business. Takes small steps. Actually take a hundred small steps. Just keep trying!
Be the captain of your ship!
Just start. You don't have to be the smartest or most knowledgeable person to begin, just need to make the first step or hundredth first step. In this WA community, there is the biggest safety net in the world, if you fail, fall or slip, it's OK, help is here to get you back on course. If you get lost, there people willing to guide to get you back on course.
I used to think I needed to have all of the answers, knowledge to start. Nope not anymore. Be good with being 85% ready now. That 15% is your work in progress. This is where you can get better. It is your room for improvement opportunity.
I used to compare what I did to everyone else. Do what is best for you. Do what makes you happy. You choose the pace or course of direction. Quit worrying about others might think. Besides, they worry about their own issues, quit worrying about theirs.
Lastly, don't go looking for the most advance stuff. Stick with the basics. Doing the basic things consistently, will make you successful. Keep it simple. The training here is by far better than any webinar YouTube will teach you, trust me, your better off here than elsewhere.
My hope is that you gain something from this.
I always like to hear what has helped you.
Share if there is something that has made a difference since you started. If it has helped you, what it is and how have you gained from it.
Thanks for reading this.

Absolutely! The important thing is to prepare ourselves properly and even if everything is not ready exactly as we would like, it is still good to take a step forward. The right time does not exist so let's live in the present moment without wasting too much time trying to be perfect.

Great post Jeff, spot on. Too many do a little then wait for success to happen. Applying the knowledge learnt is the first step and continuing to learn is key.
It’s good to realise it takes hard work and dedication day I n and day out until the first trickle of success begin. Then you work longer and harder than ever.
All the best to you.
Jeff, you are right. Attending a hundred seminars and doing nothing, will not get you anywhere. Now you know a lot more and are no nearer to your dreams. I believe there are seminars to inspire, to go from no dream to have one. Then you need the seminars to take action. Making your dreams come true. To sustain, you need both. One will motivate you, the other will create action necessary to get there.
Stanley, your absolutely right. I been to plenty of those seminars, you walk out thinking you can conquer whatever stands in your way and then reality hits or your face something you fear. I love the training here because it teaches you how to build a great foundation and there are people who are willing to help!
Thanks for your comments!

Yes this is a good post. I think essentially, you don't need to be perfect if not being perfect means being nothing. This is something I really need to remember. I often quit things when I see I'm not the best or that what I am not producing is not perfect
Thank you, practice and doing makes you closer to perfect. The more you can do, the better you become.
