“I dont believe it!” “That is why you fail.” You may say its just a movie, but Entrepreneurs and People have triumphed over the “impossible” throughout life, the stories are endless.
This is a critical lesson for any budding entrepreneur to pick up right now. Yoda's words echo with me. It reminds me of Napoleon Hill's quote: “Tell the world what you intend to do but first show it.”
I see this with many of my prospective team members. They tell me what they intend to do and then months – if not eternity – passes by before they take action. Meanwhile the person who started without hesitation has 6 months' more experience and is that much wiser and wealthier.
Good point, I used to get that a lot from employees. Best thing is to make a goal board and when they tell you stuff put it up there. I got a good memory and my employees where always changing what they remembered they promised me – so I started writing it down in front of them so their was no question.

MMPT Chris – some are talkers, some are analyzers, some are “get it done” types, and some are “feel good about it,” types. Love the idea of Cokeq (;-)) GMz? How about – FORDr ?? OK- I'll stop…nothin but luv for ya babe…SWOT – strength, weakness, Opportunity and Threat—never ignore threat…for therein lies the war you can win, but you first have to see the battlefield clearly—yes? HOWEVER- CHRIS – I totally disagree with you about talking about it- talking precedes doing- brainstorming don't work good with your mouth stitched shut…try it…try brainstorming with your mouth stitched shut- you'll see right away what I mean…;-);-) Of course the last laugh in all this dialogue goes to the guy who has the big cheese – right? ;-);-) One of us is a researcher and one of us is rich? My dog can't eat research…guess I better get a move on, huh? ;-);-)
I sometimes get stuck in the planning phase. Perhaps doing to much preparation and research is like “trying”. I believe those aspects are important but they are also dangerous in keeping you in the 'paralysis of analysis' phase. Segregating into scheduled times for research and measurement is probably in order.
“Do or Do Not, there is no Try” is a great mantra. I always feel better creating and getting this accomplished. Thanks for your perspective on this Chris

Hi Chris,
This is a critical lesson for any budding entrepreneur to pick up right now. Yoda's words echo with me. It reminds me of Napoleon Hill's quote: “Tell the world what you intend to do but first show it.”
I see this with many of my prospective team members. They tell me what they intend to do and then months – if not eternity – passes by before they take action. Meanwhile the person who started without hesitation has 6 months' more experience and is that much wiser and wealthier.
