The First Step

"I learned later that every successful enterprise, great or small, begins with a leap of faith, a driving into the dark, into the unknown.  Nature is kind to us in that she never lets us see to far ahead.  If we really knew all the difficulties, disappointments, temporary failures, and heartaches we would experience, most of us would not start out at all.  This applies to new businesses, careers, marriage, having children--and almost every other human endeavor."
(Brian Tracy, "Success is a Journey", p. 24)

"I learned later that the most important thing is to launch, to begin with no guarantee of success. Once you start, everything changes. New avenues and opportunities open up for you--openings that you could not have seen had you not been in forward motion. 'Leap and the net will appear!'"
(Brian Tracy, "Success is a Journey", p.31)
