Baby Steps are the Key to Success

Whenever I was looking to make a change or start a new project, I became overwhelmed when I thought about all that needed to be done to get to the end.

For months I was considering starting a podcast. With a podcast comes: picking a name, creating a logo, buying equipment, reaching out to guests, recording the intro, choosing music, recording episodes, editing, marketing, etc. The list goes on and on.

Seeing that list, that seems intimidating, right?

That’s why I put it off for months.

I made it my New Year’s goal to get the podcast going. I started telling people so I could be held accountable.

I took it one step at a time.

Soon enough, the intimidating aspects of the podcasts weren’t as scary. I completed them relatively seamlessly. I even enjoyed the process.

Had I kept focusing on the bigger picture of the completed podcast, I might have let fear rule my ability to create it.

That is why it’s important to focus on baby steps. Here’s the way that I found works for me.

Write down a game-plan

Knowing the end goal is still important; just don’t let it hold you back. You want to see what you’re working towards and how to get there.
