Ideas are worth nothing. Everyone on earth got at least one million dollar idea one day in their lives.<br />
<br />
The <b>ONLY </b>difference between those that got the actual million $ and those that did not, is this:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center"><b>EXECUTION</b>​</div><br />
Choose an idea, sit down, write a step-by-step plan, proceed to first step, then proceed to the second step, then repeat to the next step until you wake up one day wondering why you're paying so much taxes....<br />
<br />
Can't focus on a big plan?<br />
<br />
<b>START SMALL </b><br />
<br />
I had a huge mindset problem, so I started with a wordpress blog. I wrote one article that nobody read and enjoyed it, so I wrote a second one. Now, I have written over 120 articles and am slowly moving towards getting published.<br />
<br />
Is this fastlane? No.<br />
<br />
It's <b>fastlane education</b>. It taught me that someone as insignificant as I am could have an impact out there. That's all I needed to prove myself. Now I can move on to bigger projects.<br />
<br />
Next step: selling my digital product.<br />
<br />
Next step: becoming financially independent through freelancing.<br />
<br />
Next step: building an actual company with the money earned from the digital product sales and freelancing activity.<br />
<br />
No one is asking you to build Amazon on your first day.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center"><b>tHe LoNgEsT jOuRnEy StArTs WiTh A sInGlE sTeP</b>​</div><br />
As cheesy as this quote is...it's true.<br />
<br />
Start small. And grow it from there.<br />
<br />
<br />

</blockquote>This is so helpful. Thanks so much. Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been focusing my attention on DOING rather than THINKING.<br />
<br />
The idea of starting small is much less overwhelming than trying to take on the world at once. I'm going to be keeping this in mind and focusing on ONE thing, as the article suggests.<br />
<br />
Thanks again, this community is awesome!</div>
