It's Never About the 10 Years, It's About the One Decision.
A successful business is not built in 10 years like some think. It is built in a SPLIT second. A split-second decision that you are going to make to commit to building a business and a successful one.
Everything in life, comes down to a simple, split-second choice. Yes or No.
You want to ditch an addiction to something or a bad habit? That's not 10 years in the making, that is a split second decision you make and commit to overcoming it.
You want to lose weight 50lbs? That's not 10 years in the making, it only takes a split-second decision for you to commit to this journey.
You want to build a successful business? It's not a 10 year in the making thing, it is a split-second decision you make to commit to building one.
I see far too often people are concerned about the idea that is going to take them a great deal time to build a successful business. It's going to take "years", so they use that an excuse to never start. Then years go by, and they reflect and wish they started their business earlier.
Sound familiar?
The act of taking that initial action and making that initial decision is done in mere seconds. That is WHAT will lead us to incredible accomplishments in life, and in business.
So today, I encourage you to make that decision for yourself.
It is pretty cut and dry and those that make the decision with conviction, are those that are going to achieve a inevitable success.
Don't let anything get in your way. Don't let the idea of failure lead you to in action, or worse yet quitting. The only way to fail at anything, is the simple split-second decision to quit.
Now go out there and get the success you deserve!

That is what happened to me when I started at WA.
I was thinking too much. Pros and cons. Asked myself all kinds of questions.
until I just told myself.: Do not think - Just do it - You can do it!
That split second changed it all. That second when I made the decision just to do it and believe that I could was game changing.
All i have accomplished after this was because of that split second.
Thanks for sharing your experience Hilde, you are amazing! :)
You hit this out of the ballpark. All it took was a split second.
When I first started reading your post my mind wandered to that split second when one's business can go exponential. When we do things according to the WA Formula, one's progress is asymptotic. For the longest time, it seems that nothing is happening.
At the knee of the curve, a miracle happens. In seemingly a split second, our business can take off like a rocket, speaking analogously.
It all starts by making that split-second decision to commit oneself to do the work consistently.
Loved reading this post.

You often see people say that sometimes it all of a sudden "clicked", but the reality is that was likely the build up of many years, or even a decade of effort towards a goal.
Thank you for your blog post, as always your wise words and experience are appreciated.
Your examples are so true, a decision can be made in a split second! I must admit that I hadn't thought about business in that way, but it makes a terrific amount of sense!
I appreciate the inspiration.
A very happy Easter to you all.

Happy Easter to you!
Every decision is a split second decision; for some it is intimidating to make such momentous decisions, others just go for it.
Good for you for making this decision and taking definitive action! Too many of us talk and don't take enough action!
Well done!
A very happy Easter to you.
