Dreams

When dreaming of a personal accomplishment, most people make the mistake of waiting...

- Waiting until they've been trained
- Waiting till someone say's they are ready
- Waiting till they have the proper tools
- Waiting till they're better
- Waiting till they're hired
- Waiting till they've been given the assignment

But some people don't wait for the stage to be set or the curtains to be opened. Some people don't even wait to be chosen by the casting director.

Some people don't wait to be asked - they dive in the minute they get the dream.

* Dream of being on TV? - get a video camera and start making your segments.
* Dream of being a syndicated cartoonist? - start creating a daily strip and post it to the web.
* Imagine that some day you'll possess the skills to be a fantastic film maker? - bum a camera from one of your friends and shoot a short now.
* Want to be a personal finance consultant but got no money or clients? - make up imaginary clients and work with their pretend money for a year.

Somewhere along the line most of us bought the myth that great accomplishments require training, resources, credentials and permission. Bullshit. Great accomplishments require giving it a shot.
