Do Something that Scares You

Take a walk and figure out what fears you have.

What activity or thought has been giving you problems? What relationships have been nagging you?

When Edison created the light bulb, someone said “it took you a thousand times to fail before you figured it out,” and Edison replied, “No. I learned a thousand ways not to create the light bulb.” He didn’t procrastinate. He didn’t fear failure. He embraced it.

Whatever it is that you are postponing or procrastinating, go do it right now and get it off your conscience.

I have been procrastinating calling my peers to get partners lined up for a deal I am considering. Today I finally made those calls. I got some no’s, but I’m still going.

Now it’s your turn.
