The biggest factor to living a successful life

This applies to everyone in all aspects of life whether you are a student, business owner or employee the most important thing you need to do to be successful is to not procrastinate.

Let me start off with a story, i know a guy, he reads an enormous amount of books on business and marketing strategies, essentially everything. He had lots of ideas to do stuff for his current business to boost his customers etc or to start new side business but each time he thought he wasn't prepared enough and said he would need this or that. He wanted to make videos on youtube and use that to gain a customer base but his excuse was he needed an expensive professional camera and a perfect backdrop and the list goes on but it was all too expensive and he eventually went bankrupt from just being to meticulous to start anything.

So a piece of advice, don't try to be a perfectionist off the start. In most cases it doesn't matter where you start you just need to start somewhere. At that point as you move on through your rough plan you can perfect certain aspects as you go along your way. You will also notice you encounter many obstacles whether you spend a year to plan or start instantly. Its best to do the latter because the sooner you start the sooner you can learn from your mistake.

SO how to apply this, will start somewhere like i said, If you want to start a business but it seems so big then start whatever you have figured out. Things like that can seem as a bug daunting task and a large risk and you may think oh what if it doesn't work i wont have a job or this or that.Well thats exactly the flaw with people. By start somewhere small that means don't leave your job. start by putting in work on the side and go on from there.

In my life i have an example of how this worked for me. I started with a hobby and interest in building things and built stuff very often. I beat around the bush for a while then at some point someone in my family convinced me to upload a video. i continuously uploaded bit by but, and didn't get any views. After a while i came back and i had gotten some view. 2 years from the day i started i now get over 1000 views per day, started a blog so my youtube and blog could both help me get more fans. THen somewhere along theline i founmd i liked business to so incorporated that into it all. Next i may start advertising products myself, making an online store of products or things you might need to do the stguff in my videos. ANd even if it takes a while to get buyers, its often not a bug commitement to just try. Its as easy as signing up for eBay. all because i decided to start somewhere. Eventually with dedication, time and learning from your mistakes things start to expand and ideas will come to life
