So You Don’t Know HOW to Do It…
In the third of a series of blogs around why we don’t get done what we want to get done, many people get really hung up because they don’t know HOW to do what they want to do.
You may be clear on the vision for your project, but because you’ve not done it before, you think you can’t do it. You know WHAT you want… but then you get stuck because you don’t know HOW. Maybe you don’t even know where to start!
Reason #3 Why you don’t get things done: “You don’t know HOW to do it”
We have been conditioned to think that we need experience and education in order to get things done. However, many successful and famous women entrepreneurs rarely have all the experience or the perfect education when they get started.
Here’s the thing, just because you haven’t done it before, has nothing to do with the fact of whether you can or can’t do it. It just means that you need to reach out to others who have that experience. It’s okay to be the one with the questions and not the answers because there are other people around us from whom can get those answers.
I wholeheartedly believe that if you know WHAT needs to get done, you can always get help on HOW to get it done. I’ve seen it time and time again and it’s because of that that I’m such a believer in being a connector. This is where connecting and reaching out to other people can be so invaluable.
When I begin to tackle a new project, I rarely know HOW it’s going to happen and how to do it but I trust that I am resourceful and can connect with others who do have the expertise I may be lacking to get the job done. This skill has served me well as an entrepreneur. Because there’s nothing that truly prepares you or gives you all the experience you need to be an entrepreneur – you just have to go for it!
We are all six degrees of separation from connecting to someone who can help us with “the how”. The benefit of using social networks, business connections, family and friends is to just ask, and to begin following the breadcrumbs.
Stay tuned, next week I’ll be sharing the launch of a new program I created to support you if you’re looking for “how” to get your ideas out there.
