It’s in the heart

It won’t matter how great your idea is, how awesome your marketing plan is, or how much money you can get invested unless it is in your heart.

People watch business reality TV or read a guru’s book and soullessly try to ‘hustle’ and create passion.

You can’t artificially create it, it comes from your heart.

If you truly have a powerful reason why you do what you do, then you will have that real passion from the inside and you won’t want to talk about products, features, benefits, techniques, you’ll be bursting to tell your story, to inspire, to sing with all your heart.

If you don’t have it, then find something else to do and don’t stop searching until you fall in love with something.

Colouring pencils and planning

I love technology and I use a whole variety of different apps to organise my daily life.

However, if you really want to visualise your plans or a project, then there is no substitute for scribbling on a good old fashioned big sheet of paper with some coloured pens and pencils.

Doesn’t matter how you do it, the simple step of putting pencil to paper and drawing it out is a very powerful way of feeling, visualising and creating a plan for something.

No app can create that feeling and there is a huge pleasure in doing something different and creative.

You may well then create all the necessary steps on cards in Trello or a simple list on Workflowy or whatever your favourite app is.

Always start with something you physically draw or write out, it’s a way of expressing your passion for creating your dreams that will make a big difference to the outcome.
