What is the first step?

Idea execution.

I guess it’s some of the worst things in the world, I just can’t see any worst comfort zone runaway than moving something from the head to reality. It’s all so beautiful in the head, we only imagine the ideal scenarios, we project the revenue and after a year we are somewhere at the sea and everything is done by itself, generating lots of money.

Then it’s Monday we hate, we go to the job we do not love, and as Friday is getting closer, fantasies about infinite business ideas are coming back to our head.

Which then is literally the first step to make some idea realistic?

What is holding us?

Time.

We do not want to create time for something that we are unsure of if it is going to succeed, so time, we are afraid to invest a lot of time in which 99% of our effort will be useless, because 99% of everything we invest time in does not make a direct return but is creating the foundation for those 1% which will start returning invested time in terms of money.

Now we know the problem is time, let’s see what we can do about time.

Let’s split time

Year of work without visible results. It does not sound like something you would agree to.

Sounds long, exhaustive, with a lot of things we need to give up for which we are not sure whether it will produce anything, and life is still too short for giving up from things you love? The reflection we are leading to, which often leaves us on dead point for a lifetime, and life is also too short for being on the dead point!

Let’s make a split of time.

I’m not talking about classic division into months so we have 12 months and 12 monthly goals, one month is too long. People give up from meal plan if they do not see the result after two weeks, what is a month then? We need something that will suit everyone and it is not popularized yet. Because when sometimes is popular, we take it for granted and we do not even notice it.

Week? But no, a week is a lot, seven days. Monday and Tuesday we will do the things we want to, and then we’ll start to fall as the week starts.

We need something focused and minimal.

Minimal first step

Find the activity you can do within two minutes and make it your first step. Minimal activity that no longer has an idea in your mind but the first activity that is part of a real project to realize the idea and do it.

Two minutes, people.

I don’t have to tell you that you can do it when you know it already.
