8 Reasons Why Getting Started is So Critical
Did you ever have dreams of a project that you really wanted to do, but you just never got around to it?
For example, what if you always wanted to write a book? But then life always got in the way and you kept putting it off and putting it off and putting it off again. Every time you thought about it, you found a reason not to get started on it.
How might your life be different now if you had just taken action - taken that first step - gotten started on your masterpiece?
Do you see something familiar in projects you always wanted to do? Even with the best plans, nothing happens until you actually get started!

Deliberate Practice for Beginners
Had a meeting yesterday as I was searching for a vendor that may be interested in help[ing me with a project. I explained the goals of the project and what we were asking of them. The first thing that came out of there mouth is what is in it for us? I knew then, the relationship would not be good business wise.
Why because the ask was just for a small portion of time from time to time, that would benefit them and us. Not forever, but at least to start. They were not able to see the longterm until much later in the meeting, but by then I could see their mindset was not one that would make a good partner. You never lead with whats in it for me, its always what value can I provide. Then two things will happen, your value will make you invaluable or worse case scenario you gain further practice in your craft and take it somewhere else. Practicing your craft even if it cost you upfront and it will, in the long game it will make you better and therefore invaluable.
