I know, yesterday was crazy busy. But were you too busy to do anything that moved you closer to getting any of those 3 critical steps done? Really? Doing what?

And then there's Mr YaBut: Ya...but......the mortgage, my boss, the kids' soccer game, Quarter-end.....the S & P.....damn that Greek economy! Oh, yeah - and the Louvre caught fire yesterday too!

Well, Bob Parsons, the CEO of GoDaddy was crazy busy too; selling his company to a PE firm for $2.25B. He's not from Medfield. He's from Baltimore's low income section.

And then there were 2 bicycle shop repairmen from Ohio that were pretty busy too, just surviving. They spent two years, every day working on their 3 critical steps toward solving a problem that no one from Galileo to Davinci could solve - and raised the standard of living from Medfield to Mumbai. The Wright Bros

Seems pretty unrealistic doesn't it? Well, doing the unrealistc is a lot easier than doing what you're doing now - the very realistic. Competition is fiercest for realistic goals. Just look around your neighborhood. Who doesn't want to do what you want to do?

Unless, you want to do something as unrealistic as what you just chose. Your neighbors are listening to Mr YaBut.  Yesterday they were too busy to do anything that moved them closer to getting any of their 3 critical steps done either.

The path to success in what you would do, if you could not fail, is not linear. But I guarantee you, there is no way you can fail, if you learn every step of the way. I also guarantee that you will fail, if you don't take those steps - every day, that will get you one step closer.

Now, what are you waiting for?
