The hardest move to make is the first step! 😣
This weekend I celebrate the 190th episode of The Business Development Podcast (and hopefully the Spotify Wrapped 2024 numbers! Come on Spotify!) 🥳 and I wanted to chat with you all about the power of the first step. It’s easy to look at just about everything in its entirety and think my god, I can’t do that. I can’t start a business, I can’t start a podcast, heck I can’t even get my phone calls done, it just seems like a lot.
I am no exception. I used to put off my calls religiously, telling myself it was too much, that I did not have it in me. I used to think I could not be a business owner for a number of reasons, self-belief and values playing into that one. I was afraid to be a podcaster because how could I even do it? Show up a couple of times a week and talk to strangers, make my own content.
It’s easy to make these things so big in your head that it’s easier just to not even try, right? Wrong! None of these things happened overnight. I make my calls one call at a time, I built my business one day at a time, and I built my podcast one show at a time. And now I am building these motivational videos for you one clip at a time. You don’t get to 190 episodes all at once, you get there one step at a time.
For those of you who are on the fence, you have big dreams, you want to start a business, podcast, video series, maybe you’re an ambitious executive looking to push into the next step on the ladder. Look, it’s simply momentum, take one step today towards your goals. It does not have to be big, it just has to be progress.
Success never happens overnight, it happens one call, one episode, one clip, one meeting at a time. Today, take a step in the right direction, I promise the next one will be easier. 💪
Here’s to your first step! Catch you on the flip side! 🎸🌟
