Hi !
It's almost 3 am in Portugal and it's been a long day ! Although i found some forces to write something today.
Knowledge VS Action
I had read a quote years ago from somenone, in somewhere, that was so much prowerful and logical that i can remember today, "All the knowledge in the world is useless without action, don't overthink, over do it". This resumes the whole thing i want to transmit in this paragraph. You can read all the books, talk about everything, watch all the video tutorials, you can even know the pet's name of Cesar Augusto, that doesn't make any difference if you don't move your self. Knowledge is power, i agree but is not all. Attitude is what defines you.
I try to pursuit knowledge whenever i can, instead of taking a nap, i like to do something more useful to myself, learn something, instead of laying down on the sofa i try to go to somewhere and improve myself, but that doesn't mean nothing, unless i move myself!
When to start
It all starts where. This is the million dollar question. And the answer is pretty simple, now. The main reasons i'm writing today is because of motivation and mindset. Being lazy is easy and making excuses is easier. This article is for me also. I'm the thinking guy, that spends most of his on is own world, i don't know how many ideas i've scracth in my notebook. Why? Someone took advantage. Someone, didn't care about papers, risk, stress, money... That's the whole philosophy behind entrepreneurship. Forget the question, start.
If you think your product/service is good enough, if you've talked to your friends and they sayed "go for it ! ", don't think twice, you may be lossing the oportunity of a life time.
Don't talk, do it!
This is also a problem for me, i found myself talking a lot with my girlfriend about dreams, ideas, projects, aspirations, whatever... But that's only cheap talk (yes, i do criticize me), right now i'm starting to change my mindset about this, i will only talk whenever i done anything. I want to give you the same advice, don't talk to your friends, familiars and partners about your whole projects and stuff, talk to them to know if your idea is good, to improve something. Avoid the cheap talk, the "i would really like to do this"... Instead of saying that, why don't you try "I will do this". That seems much more confident, doesn't?
Ambition and Anxiety
Oh boy... This two will kill you. You want more and more, and you found yourself sitting, reading, thinking and ambitionating dreams. Is awful, i know. Also, you don't want things, you want things now, and anxiety is killing you inside. This two emotion can be good and bad, you have just to manage them to come along with you in the right way, don't be too greedy but also don't be too conformed. Don't be too anxious, things will come to you if they have to! Remember pacience is a virtue.
I'll leave you with a quote from Nolan Bushnell:
" The true entrepeneur is a doer, not a dreamer. "
Blessings !
