Best bit of advice I would ever give is to take your opportunities and create a strong foundation. Too many people wait “until the time is perfect”, conditions are “just right”, or “I will wait until next month” but next month never usually comes.
Many people want things “yesterday” and this is guaranteed to never get meaningful results.
Whether you want to get fit and healthy, set up a business, go for promotion or whatever it is, take steps today to set you off on the path, but DO NOT wait for anyone’s approval first.
Strong foundations and doing things the right way matter though big time.
How’s your fitness plan going? Will you fall for the endless social media “get fit” “get ripped” plans in 2-3 weeks? Doing exercises that will destroy your back that some fitness model “oiled up” is demonstrating?
How about buying powders and pills that speed up your heart and never educate you on eating sensibly? Really? Surely you know you can do better than that and won’t fall for these fads? You will end up richer if you don’t fall for them and internally healthier too.
There is not substitute for changing your eating slowly, developing habits over time that stick, eating real healthy food, and learning to train properly taking into account your bad back, knee or any other ailments you have.
I’m not saying set up a business without any foundation as that could be disastrous. You NEED to start getting a strong foundation by learning as much as you can, and committing to life long learning for the rest of your life, there’s no other way.
Business is not about leasing a new car/van straight away and looking good, it’s not telling everyone how good you are, it’s about working harder than you have ever done before, every day until you start creating something that offers value to others and being humble about it, and be prepared it WILL take years and years. Do a good job for others and your business will grow.
Strong foundations matter above everything else. Be prepared to work hard, hep others and do your best each and every day.
