"Do or do not. There is no try." Jedi Master Yoda
I've heard people say that showing up is half the battle. And you know what? They're right. My business partner and I have accomplished so much in the past year just from being present, being active, being players in the game. Some things we went after and caught. Some things were tossed to us when we didn't expect it. Some things are still hanging in mid-air and we'll be able to grab them soon. And it's all been very good.
So...maybe the ball didn't fly gloriously through the air and land right in your glove the way that you envisioned. But if you don't hang your head and walk away, perhaps you'll be able to slide under it and catch it next time. Sure, it won't be as pretty as you planned. And you'll probably get really dirty. But the end result is that you did what you came to do. It got done. And you scored one for the team.
I recommend that you commit to doing it. Whatever your 'it' is. Don't try to make the networking event. Write it down in your calendar. Arrange a babysitter. And go.
Don't try to achieve your sales goals. Hit the streets and the phone lines until it's done.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Commit to each and every one of them.
