Trying to move forward

Last Update: March 01, 2012

So after something happened to me recently in the work world, I had an idea on a business, a local offline business. Now I have had this idea before, its been swimming around my mind for maybe 2 years, maybe more. My difficulty is that I dont speak the local language well, not well enough to conduct business.

But after this recent event, i decided that really all i needed to do was talk, discuss, ask. So thats what i did, today i asked someone to join me in business in the local area. I dont know him, met him twice. God you might say how can you ask someone you dont know. Maybe thats better. It will be purely business, he does his end i do mine, if it goes sour we go our separate ways no emotional ties.

Now nothing has been agreed yet, we have a meeting monday, but the fact that i had the BALLS to ask him this, has set an idea in motion. Even if this doesnt work out from the start, it has given me the ability to find and ask others.

 So if you take nothing else from this random blog post, take this: Take action and dont be afraid to ask!

Good for you Dean - fear, apprehension or uncertainty stop us doing so many things. Whether he turns out to be your guy or someone else is make sure you both understand what you're getting. I don't believe that it's really possible to have no emotional ties in business. Whoever you work with you will have views about how you do things and won't always agree You can have a totally professional relationship but no emotion involved? Think again. The very best of luck.

Awesome! The "secret" is in just stepping out of the comfort zone and ask. That's where the confidence comes from. Good Job!!

Hey Dean...I've been m.i.a. the last few weeks but good to be back! Fear and uncertainty is what stops many dreams from coming true. Being brave enough to follow your intuition and take the first step is often what leads to great success. I'm routing for ya my friend!!!!!
