You're dehydrated. Hungry as hell. And wobbling like an Irishman on too much Guinness. Your eyes hurt, your head throbs and your will is all but broken. You're not even sure you want to go on.
You feel like Frodo.
As in the character Frodo, in the final episode of the ?Lord of the Rings-The Return of the King.?
Terror and dismay gleam from Frodo's big, expressive blue eyes. In the distance, he can see his goal. But it seems to him like he'll never get there. He turns to Sam and says in a defeated tone, "Sam, it's the Eye," referring to the eye of Sauron - the enemy he must destroy.
And Sam turns to Frodo in a soft, encouraging voice and says, "Let's just get to the bottom of this hill, Mr.Frodo."
Let's just get to the bottom of this hill, Mr.Frodo.
I spoke at the World Internet Summit in Sydney, Australia, last week. And I saw about two hundred and fifty Frodos in the audience.
Confused. Weary. Inundated with dozens of tactics and strategies about the Internet, their eyes stared into nothingness. Frozen stiff at the task of having to build an Internet business from scratch, almost all of them seemed to have a cross too heavy to bear.
And they didn't exactly have Sam to egg them on.
I said to them, like I say to you. "Let's just get to the bottom of this hill, Mr.Frodo." Then we'll do the next hill, and the next and the next, till we get to our destination.
You're bound to be struggling. I struggle in Yoga class. I'm a first-class doofus. Five minutes after we start the class, I wonder when it's all going to end. I look at the ?human pretzels? twisting and turning to the left and right of me, and I can't ever see myself being so flexible. And I despair.
But I've got my own personal Sam. I simply say to myself:"Let's just get to the bottom of this hill, Mr.Frodo"
And hurrah, yippeee yahooey, I've actually made it past Yoga session No.2. :)
It doesn't matter what you want to do, you will not get anywhere unless you 'just get started' You may get sick of hearing this phrase, but they always say 'the truth hurts'
Most people don't want to hear the truth, they want to be babied, someone to hold their hand and do it all for them. I was what I just described, until I talked to some friends, they just happened to be multi-millionaires, and the first thing they told me was 'just get started' are you sick of that phrase yet??
So here's what I did...I 'just got started' I decided I wanted to renovate a house and sell it for a profit, well I didn't have the money to buy a property...although you hear about buying property for no money down, it happens, but it's RARE!! ...so I placed an ad on a real estate investors network, and what do you know, the next day I got a phone call and within an hour I had an investor that was willing to put up the entire purchase price of the property, when you 'just get started' things seem to magically happen that lead to your ultimate goal. Well to make a long story short, I found a property, renovated it and sold it for a nice profit(split with my investor), not bad for someone who started with a desire and it all some how worked out.
Now you don't have to believe in anything I say, and here's why, everything I say is not true, it's not false, it's not right, and it's not wrong, it's just my experience, and In my experience when you decide to 'just get started, thing's seem to magically happen for you, what ever it may be.
You want to leave your present JOB, don't think you can because you have expenses, monies that must be paid out every month, well let me fill you in on something, everyone has those worries, but when you just get started something will, almost magically, lead you to yourend goal. Not sure why, but it does really happen time and time again.
Things start to happen when you just get started, and put in the daily activities you need to reach your end goal.
There comes a time in all our lives when you hit a point, and that's it, You must get out of the rat race and live for yourself for once! Well you ready, just get started period!
You don't have to do it all at once, start small, work within your time available. Once you do that and start to see some results, it won't take long, you will be on your way to the life you dream about.
