We all know 'Joe'
Joe is the guy or woman who keeps talking about their great
ideas. They tell everyone how successful their idea will be. They tell you how
much money they could earn. They will often also tell you where and on what
they would spend that money. But they will never leave the safety of their jobs
and go for their great 'idea'.
Joe dreams and talks about packing his bags and travelling
the world, but he doesn't get any further than looking at his computer screen
googling the most beautiful beaches or cities in the world. He has seen them
all - from his couch.
Joe wants to step out and take risks. Live the adventures he
envisages in his head, but he never does. All because of fear.
Fear is an odd animal. It's not real. We create fears in our
head. Fears are not rational (deal with that you rationals who don't believe in
feelings and emotions).
My advice: Don't be 'Joe'
Be who you were made to be.
I was the Joe who spent a lot of time talking about starting
a business. I had twenty great ideas a day. I was going to change the world.
Four months ago I finally quit my 7 to 5 job and started my
own business. Having no income in the family was bloody scary. It still is
sometimes.
I get nervous when I look at my bank balance, but I
feel alive. I still have fears pop up from time to time.
BUT
The more we face our fears the easier it becomes. (Tweet This)
You don't need permission to follow your dreams. You don't need other people's approval to be who you were meant to
be. You don't need to know all the answers before you jump.
But in case you need permission: You have it!
Live your dreams. You only have one life. Make it count.
Life is hard enough, so enjoy it whenever you can!
Dream big and bigger... Be free and face your fears.
