Have you ever been in a situation where you have to tackle a new task or refine an idea or meet a deadline but been unsure where to begin? That’s obviously rhetorical because we all have but the trick is how we successfully get out of that first key step to move forward.
It’s often been said leadership is about results but those results have to begin with an idea that must be advanced and refined before we can deliver it. But how much think time do we allow in our day to even get any of done? Our biggest hurdle is often us and in our inability to get started.
Here are some ideas to get us moving forward.
The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth;
not going all the way, and not starting.
Buddha
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another.
Walter Elliott
Now is the operative word. Everything you put in your way is just a method of putting off the hour when you could actually be doing your dream.
Barbara Sher
The beginning is the most important part of the work.
Plato
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today
and make a new ending.
Maria Robinson
The idea that wins is the one with the most fearless heretic behind it.
Seth Godin
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
Chinese Proverb
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Napoleon Hill
I haven't failed. I've found 10,000 ways that don't work.
Thomas Edison
Even though the future seems far away, it is actually beginning right now.
Mattie Stepanek
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment
before starting to improve the world.
Anne Frank
Let's start!
