Have you ever wanted to do something… something really cool… but were afraid to do it? I think many people are fearful of the unknown and they put off getting started on a new project/talent/career because of the unknown. They fear they won’t be good at it… they might even fail badly. Their friends will make fun of them and things will just turn out like the last time they tried something different… a failure.
I can only imagine how many great works of art, best selling novels, and immensely successful websites that won’t be created because of fear.
Yet there is one simple way to overcome this fear. There is one simple way to write your book, create your website, or start your business.
Just get started…
It may sound crazy, but that is really the secret to success. Will you fail along the way… of course you will. Will people tell you you can’t possibly do it… they most certainly will. In fact some people will give you multiple reasons why anything you try will fail.
But just get started…
Don’t you need a complete business plan, fully stocked inventory, and multiple helpers to get started? No. In fact if you do have those things you may not get started at all…
The secret is just taking that first scary step.
Just pick up that pen, or guitar, or hammer and nail and go.
It won’t be pretty… but you will have done something that thousands of other people have been to afraid to do…
Get started.

Here is some inspiration from someone who did just that.
About 
Og Mandino,(writer and businessman)When he was asked what the secret of success was, he replied, “You should triple your rate of failure.”
I love the phrase: “You keep trying to fail, until you get so good at it that you miss the mark. Then, when you fail at failing, you’ve just made the mistake of succeeding.”
Just get started is the key and get out of your comfort zone.
Great post
