If you want to be a great dancer, you have to get on the dance floor.
- I close every Coachcast with “Stop Waiting, Start Building”
- Don’t wait for some trigger to start taking action
- Don’t wait for the next big job to start acting like a big contractor
- Don’t wait to reach $5M to develop procedures
- If you want to become something, you have to start acting like you already are
- Want to be a $20M company, start acting like a $20M company
- Want to be a great parent, start doing what a great parent does
- Want to have a bid bank account, start saving
- Opportunity Only Knocks Once – don’t wait for the knock
- Common interpretation of this proverb makes you believe that opportunity will come to you and you should act when it does – it’s wrong
- I look at it differently – Opportunity will only knock once if you sit and wait for it, however, opportunity is everywhere if you start opening the door
- I am not waiting for some sign or knock at the door, I am being the person I want to be even if my bank account doesn’t reflect it
- Practicing “Stop Waiting, Start Building”
- Set your vision and be clear on what you want
- Visualize what that would look like
- How would you act if you had $10M in your bank account
- What would your business look like if it did $20M in revenue
- Start doing and acting like that now, the universe will catch up
