Why you haven’t achieved your goals yet

I have spent the last ten years of my life thinking, planning, brainstorming all the ideas I wanted to put into a youtube channel where I could encourage other people and share my wild experiences in life. 

And every single time I get excited to do that, I pause. I get insecure. I refuse to make videos when other people can hear me. I don’t think I’m good enough. Or that people will listen. 

But I know that I can be great if I just START. 

I’ve spent years waking up at 5 am. Going to the gym. Journaling. Reading entrepreneurial books. Eating good breakfasts. And planning what I was going to do or accomplish or finalizing my business model plans. 

But that’s all I did. I had the routine of the millionaires I aspired to be like. But I didn’t START those businesses or ideas or books or channels or meetings that would actually bring in money or followers or whatever I needed to actually accomplish those goals I’d set for myself. 

I’m great at starting things. But I’ve never been good at finishing. 

For me, starting is easy, getting excited and brainstorming is the fun part. It’s less fun when you have to spend hours in front of a computer typing up scripts or editing videos or emailing people or marketing yourself or your business. I ran out of steam. 

I’ve always been more of a sprinter than a marathoner. I like quick, easy, variety. The details are what have killed me over the years. I feel like I waste my time on the littles things, so I just ignore them. 

But it’s the culmination of all the little things that build the big picture and create success. 

So, if you have an idea. A goal you’ve always wanted to achieve. START. It’s so stupidly easy. And yet it’ll be the hardest thing you ever do. 

The imposter syndrome stalks me through the process and convinces me that I shouldn’t finish. That people won’t like my product or class or art or writing. Whatever it is. You are worthy of completing it and showing the world your unique abilities.
