You don't have to get it right

Oh, the goals, hopes, and aspirations that the monstercalled procrastination destroys.
Add to it the negative habits of inconsistency and lack offocus and what do you have?
Struggle.
Much of it totally unnecessary.
Completely unnecessary.
My friend, Mike, had been running around in circles for 7 years of his life.
Circles of frustration, circles of always thinking thatsomeone else had the answers, not him nor me, and circles of strife.
People who love him dearly, thought he was wasting his time aswell.
Financial struggle started entering his life in a bigger wayand he brought a bag of tears to bed on multiple nights. No fun. At all.
I once asked him, "Mike, what was the key that helped you turn itaround?"
He gave me a simple answer, though very powerful.
Very.
He took seriously and BOUGHT INTO the philosophy of "Youdon't have to get it right, you just have to get it going."
He lived it.
He breathed it.
Then he started to accomplish more in 60 days than he used to in 2years.
His business started growing faster. He was growing faster.Things were starting to shake and bake at a higher level.
Way, way too many people impose self handcuffs on themselvesbecause they bought into the lie called perfection.
They wait till every 'i' and 't' are dotted perfectlybefore they enter the playing field.
The 'perfection mindset' is the precursor to living with your 'entrepreneurial feet' in cement. You never move.Frustrating.
He always reminds me that, we can stop struggling in our business.

We can start living the confident and masterful life.
We can start slaying the dragons called perfection andprocrastination.
***You don't have to get it right, you just have to get itgoing.

Let's say it out loud:
I don't have to get it right, I just have to get it going.
You, YOU, are talented, unique, and were born to do greatthings.
Get off your backside. Say to yourself, "Today is my day tosoar. It's my day to succeed."
Serve. Profit. Share. Develop.
You are a masterpiece. The world waits to see the artworkcalled your life.
You don't have to get it right, you just have to get itgoing.

Fear and Forgiveness

It's my parent's 30th anniversary and our Brian's christening on Saturday where in spite busy schedule preparing everything for the visitors, i still think of Jacob.  I packed Beef Tapa and Pancit for him and even thinking of bringing him Salad for dessert.  We didn't have a good conversation after hours of waiting for him then he finally said we're not meeting up because he's not in the mood and he wants to stay at home and watch Initial D.  Then all of my insecurities and paranoia came out. I started thinking, just like what happened with Jeff, very similar indeed. He started confirming why he's sticking with me. He reminded me to stop counting the days and enjoy that we're together. I think his way of showing me that he likes me is seeing me everyday for dinner. Though i heard him said, "ano bang napapala ko pag pumupunta ko sayo? Kahit pagod ako nagpupunta pa din ako. Dapat maapreciate mo yun." I am not sure what that means but i just w...

The Mid-Year Crisis

I call it Mid-Year Crisis. And literally, this happens in the middle of the year. Have you been here: Anxious about the status of your career Panicky about your financial status which is directly correlated to your, uhuh, Career Forced to get married in the next two years because you're not getting any younger Fretting over time lost where you feel you've been completely unproductive yet you feel so tired and restless Pushing the panic button because at this month, you haven't really achieved anything from the goals you have listed at the start of this year Felt so alone and no one cares to listen because (a) You're too embarrassed to tell any of your friends (b) You know from past experiences that your friends won't care (c) They are also experiencing the same crisis Bring down the curtain and wind up that it is really hard to be successful in this life and it's just so hard to achieve your dreams so you better look for an alternative, Uhhmm, letting yourse...
