Just start!

Jon has a big idea. Jon wants to start working on his idea.

But Jon is a perfectionist.

He is waiting for the perfect time, perfect conditions and a perfect environment to start.

Jon says if done right his idea will change the world.

But Jon’s idea will never change the world.

He will never find the perfect moment to do it.

Jon is not a perfectionist. He is just hiding his fear behind it.

Jon will not even start working on it.

No one will know what Jon’s idea is about

If you’re like Jon you will not start too.

You’re not perfect. So don’t try to be. Just be authentic.

Start by doing small things consistently. Pick up a pen and write your idea down or tell a few people about it.

You don’t need to start big. Just Start!

Or else your great idea will die with you.
