Is it easier to do something, if you didn't know you should do it, but you just thought you should?

    Generally speaking, it's better to do something than nothing.

    You can't make a mistake or fail if you dont do anything, but you can't make money either

    Someone once told Thomas Edison that he failed 10,000 times when trying to make the electric light bulb.
    His response: "I never failed. I succeeded in finding 10,000 ways that didn't work".

      One of my favorite quotes!


      Yes, take action, take the leap, make your mistakes, learn from them.

      Its no coincidence that most millionaire entrepreneurs fail many times miserably before they hit gold. Mistakes are the best way to learn

    Are you worried about making mistakes? Don't be, everyone has made mistakes at some point while learning anything new or different. Learning includes mistakes in the process. I tell myself that it is ok to make mistakes as I learn IM. You know what? It has been ok.

    Would you be ashamed or concerned at what others think of your mistakes? Again, don't be. What expectation do you think is pragmatic when you attempt something for the first time? Perfection? Not likely. If others are critical of your efforts and are in no way helpful in reaching goals you set for yourself, it is time to move on and find new friends.

      Personally I hate the term "take action".
      Sounds like you are self medicating.
      So instead I have this written on my wall.


      DO STUFF!
