Get off your butt and DO IT!
There’s something to Nikes’ slogan. “Just do it.”
I think we should all take heed to that little piece of advice.
Seriously. I don’t care how crappy you think you’ll be. JUST DO IT.
It doesn't matter if you don’t have the money, clout or friends.
Start by doing SOMETHING.
I know some people might be looking at this and are thinking, “sure it’s easy for you, because…” But let me tell you something, it’s NEVER easy.
Every single day I have a butt load of excuses I can use as to why I can’t do something.
When I started writing comic books 4 years ago, I didn't know a lot of people. I was alone trying to figure this thing out. To be honest I’m still learning. But I keep pressing forward.
A lot of the things I do now look normal to many people. But a few years ago it was hard to express my vision. I posted things for years getting a “LIKE” here and there. But what really helped me were the few people who sent me private messages. Those who shared tips on how I could improve. I took them all in and I’m still growing because of their advice. That only happened because I did stuff.
I fail a lot more than I succeed, but I have a path I’m laying out. One in which even if I never reach, I’m proud that I keep blazing it. I’m making something on my own, the way I want to.
So PLEASE, pack away the excuses. Find something you can make your own and JUST DO IT.
Want to write a novel but don’t have much time?
Start with a paragraph a day.
Want to start an amazing new business?
Start with a simple plan.
Want to sell crafts?
Share it with your friends and be confident in what you do.
Whatever it is you want to do… JUST DO IT.
Now get off your butt and go do something.
