Just wanted to share Seth Godin's latest blog post which I think is relevant to many aspects of entrepreneurship and peoples' questions on here. It can be interpreted differently depending on your situation, and maybe its not applicable at all. Here it is:
------
Taking the plunge.
Maybe that's the problem.
Perhaps it's better to commit to wading instead.
Ship, sure. Not the giant life-changing, risk-it-all-venture, but the small.
When you do a small thing, when you finish it, polish it, put it into the world, you've made something. You've committed and you've finished.
And then you can do it again, but louder. And larger.
It's easy to be afraid of taking a plunge, because, after all, plunging is dangerous. And the fear is a safe way to do nothing at all.
Wading, on the other hand, gets under the radar. It gives you a chance to begin.
------
To me, this means taking small actionable steps one by one and delving into the process. Not worrying about the big picture, end result, and getting it all done at once. I found some value in his post, hopefully you guys can too.
