Break the Impossible Down into Possibilities

For many, starting or learning something new can be both challenging and disconcerting. It is easy to be overwhelmed by the desired end result that it is easy to forget that things can be broken down into smaller, actionable parts. Think back to when you first started to learn how to drive. The instructor didn’t just sit you in the car and say-“Go!” (at least I hope not)-you had to take theory courses, familiarize yourself with the car and start with the basics. The same applies if you are beginning your social media strategy or a new blog and so on. It is easy to think you need to do be everywhere and do everything; become frustrated by all the new information there is to learn and then end up doing nothing at all. Take a step back and start with the basics.

Ask yourself:

Once you break your project into smaller parts, it will be easier to identify the aspects that you can easily start with and other parts that can wait. Start small and gradually build, always evaluating and identifying how things can be improved.

The key is breaking things down and getting started. To quote one of my yoga teachers-“If you don’t start somewhere, you won’t get anywhere!”
