Here are seven easy things about getting a business up and running:

1. Coming up with a good idea that will sell (it’s not that hard)

2. Getting excited about your cool new logo

3. Writing your cool sexy new web pages

4. Kicking your web developer’s butt when he/she/it has still not got your web site up

5. Reading interesting business web articles/books, doing courses/workshops (especially mine!)

6. Talking to friends about your cool new idea

7. Tweaking your cool new logo and re-writing your web site (then refer #4 above)

Here’s the one hard thing about getting a new business up and running (yes, there is only one):

1. Pushing through the fears, doubts, frustrations, disappointments, let downs, cash flow snarl ups, demotivating moments, apathy, lethargy, self-esteem issues etc etc etc

… and continuing to push through them day after day, week after week and year after year … until they dissolve (perhaps) into the nothingness they always were.

It’s really not complicated … do what you know you need to do … and keep doing it with sheer bloody minded persistence despite your doubts and the small minded nay-sayers…

Go for it … push … harder … that’s it … now keep going …
