Starting nothing when you have stressful, short on time, idea is not thought out properly, etc.

Great post! I was googling for a quote and came across your page, and I’m glad I did! I love how you challenge the idea of failure – what IS failure anyway? Even if things go horribly wrong, it was probably a learning experience right? I also really appreciate the “multiple routes” approach you have to your goals. There’s rarely only one right way to do something. Thanks for the insight!

Peace, love and a steaming cup of Zen,

Getting started is hard, but I also feel like one of the biggest challenges is continuing what you started, I face that challenge all the time.

That’s a good move Brian, “… start with the first step – the second step is already from a broader perspective.” :)

I have fallen prey to all four of these excuses. It is refreshing to now take steps, no matter how small, instead of waiting to take a giant step. brianohio's last blog post: Zen and the Art of PC Maintenance…

That was a refreshing post. I have to say I really liked the view on failure being like a stepping stopne to success, when we learn to see it as a necessary learning experience. Very helpful view to remember everytime we are about to starting something.

Glen, good point. Sir John Templeton on the question of “What is the secret to investing?” said: “Do it.” :)

Great post, i actually see this as the biggest reason people fail…they never start. It’s hard to think how your blog might grow to 100,000 monthly visitors or 10,000 feed subscribers but you are never going to get there unless you start

Good stuff, Glen
