When it comes to a major task, be it launching a product, working out, or making friends, the vast majority of people (myself included) are always focused on the end. When it comes to business, we focus on the product bringing in sustainable passive income on a daily basis. When it comes to health, we focus on the six-pack and on completing marathons. When it comes to our social lives, we focus on the extensive social circles and glamorous parties. And every single time, we find ourselves getting massively overwhelmed.
As a result, we often give up even before we start or shortly after we start. That’s no way to get a passive income stream or a healthy body. We need to stop focusing on the final step and start focusing on the next step. Instead of thinking about your future six-pack, how about just focusing on purchasing a gym membership. And then on actually going to the gym. And then on doing each exercise, one at a time. 10,000 steps later and you’ll have your six-pack.
The same is true for starting a business. It’s good to think about having successful products and a healthy bank account. But to get to that point, you have to take it one step at a time. Register a domain. Do research. Create a product. Put up landing pages. Hire and train employees. And 10,000 steps later, there you go…a successful business.
Take life one step at a time, my friend. Any monumental goal can be yours. But instead of thinking about the end and getting overwhelmed, just take it one step at a time. You are walking up a grand staircase. Your only goal is to make it to the next step. That’s it. Good luck, my friends.
