You Do NOT Need More Info 👀
The truth is information is good, but you do not need more information to be successful. You just need to start. You need to make uncertain steps and adjust while you are moving. The hardest thing is to get the ship moving... its the law of inertia.
"Inertia is the natural tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion, remaining at rest or continuing in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force."
The hardest part is to start moving... but once you've started, the law of inertia is on your side... it takes external forces to stop you! Whats even more interesting is it takes so much less effort to shift your direction than it did to start in the first place.
I believe this is also true of change. Many people have been living a certain way, repeating known and unknown patterns for so long that you find it hard to change. It takes a large amount of effort to change... but push through because this concept is natural and spiritual but really its extremely practical.
People have had the idea, concept, and desire to start a business, change their method in business or shift ways to be more effective. Yet nothing has changed... Why? Because you need more information? No, you just need to act! Make a decision and execute.
This is how successful people run their lives. They are always in motion. Poor people... they are physically and literally stagnant.
Here in Brazil we have people that will be sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk at 12 in the afternoon. When I say SLEEP... they are not moving. Like... you would think they were dead if it wasn't so common. Not in a corner or in the shade, but in the middle of the sidewalk.
You may not be laying on concrete but the same concept is keeping you bound. You're not moving. You've had the idea to change direction, to do something different... Why are you still in the same place? Move!
Successful People Start Before they are Ready!!!
As you continue reading, the information is coming from this article:
In 1966, a dyslexic sixteen-year-old boy dropped out of school. With the help of a friend, he started a magazine for students and made money by selling advertisements to local businesses. With only a little bit of money to get started, he ran the operation out of the crypt inside a local church.
Four years later, he was looking for ways to grow his small magazine and started selling mail order records to the students who bought the magazine. The records sold well enough that he built his first record store the next year. After two years of selling records, he decided to open his own record label and recording studio.
He rented the recording studio out to local artists, including one named Mike Oldfield. In that small recording studio, Oldfield created his hit song, Tubular Bells, which became the record label’s first release. The song went on to sell over 5 million copies.
Over the next decade, the young boy grew his record label by adding bands like the Sex Pistols, Culture Club, and the Rolling Stones. Along the way, he continued starting companies: an airline business, then trains, then mobile phones, and on and on. Almost 50 years later, there were over 400 companies under his direction. Today, that young boy who dropped out of school and kept starting things despite his inexperience and lack of knowledge is a billionaire. His name is Sir Richard Branson.
How I Met Sir Richard Branson
Two weeks ago, I walked into a conference room in Moscow, Russia and sat down ten feet from Branson. There were 100 other people around us, but it felt like we were having a conversation in my living room. He was smiling and laughing. His answers seemed unrehearsed and genuine.
At one point, he told the story of how he started Virgin Airlines, a tale that seems to capture his entire approach to business and life. Here's the version he told us, as best I can remember it:
“I was in my late twenties, so I had a business, but nobody knew who I was at the time. I was headed to the Virgin Islands and I had a very pretty girl waiting for me, so I was, umm, determined to get there on time.
At the airport, my final flight to the Virgin Islands was cancelled because of maintenance or something. It was the last flight out that night. I thought this was ridiculous, so I went and chartered a private airplane to take me to the Virgin Islands, which I did not have the money to do.
Then, I picked up a small blackboard, wrote “Virgin Airlines. $29.” on it, and went over to the group of people who had been on the flight that was cancelled. I sold tickets for the rest of the seats on the plane, used their money to pay for the chartered plane, and we all went to the Virgin Islands that night.”
—Richard Branson
