It can be cliché, but the beginning of a brand new year really CAN be a refreshing new start for you and your aspirations.
That’s a great opportunity for you to regain your focus and finally launch your dream this upcoming year.
Here’s exactly how you’re going to do it…
This article is basically going to be an outline for a step-by-step process to launch your ambition in 2016. And the common thread throughout will be “momentum”.
So whether you’re trying to start a home business, have an idea for a new mobile app, or have some other big dream that you just haven’t gotten around to starting, this is the path you need to take to launch it in 2016…
1. One Small Step
The most important part of any big project is taking that very first action to get everything moving. But that action doesn’t have to be some gigantic step. Instead, focus on a tiny step that you can focus on and complete in order to get your momentum started.
Put together an outline for your plan, get paperwork started, purchase a domain, or do whatever else you can to take that first step.
2. Remember It’s Not Gong to Explode
In only the most rare of rare cases, a single idea or dream will explode right away. Don’t expect yours too. And that means understanding, accepting, and being comfortable with the fact that your ambition will likely be a bit boring at first.
Your first podcast recording will be far closer to the worst you’ll ever have than the best you’ll ever have, the first draft of the first chapter of your novel will most likely be less than perfect, and your new website may not gain 1,000 followers overnight.
That’s OK.
3. Share Your Success
Let others know you have momentum by sharing your success, no matter how small. This will both raise awareness for what you’re doing and help you feel more confident.
Just reach 100 subscribers? Nail your first stand-up comedy routine at a local coffee shop? Did you simply reach a new goal?
You don’t have to be obnoxious about it, but you should let people know.
4. Accelerate
Now you’re finally moving and going through the process, so it’s time to make sure you’re taking that next, bigger step. This is where you keep momentum going and put your foot on the gas.
Find something that’s working? Keep it going, and continue to find ways to add to it or make it even better. Think about rolling out or expanding. Make another move in the right direction.
5. Adapt
I can guarantee that not everything will go 100% according to your original plan. Be prepared to change and adapt. This sounds much scarier than it actually is, but you need to have the right mindset going in so that you don’t break down when something goes wrong.
If you can follow these 5 steps, 1 by 1, you’ll be able to launch your ambition in 2016!
