There Is No Good Time To Start Pursuing Your Passion
You can start now, or you can wait to get started. Yesterday was the best day to start. There is no good time to start pursuing your passion.
Is there ever a good time to start pursuing your passion? Your best day to start was yesterday and the year before that. But you can start now.
Start Small
You can start small. The first step is always to start. If you never get going, then you will stay where you are.
It is easier to get more small tasks done. You can get stuck when you think that you need to get one finish a big job or want to reach an ambitious goal. Instead, you can focus on small tasks. Your small tasks will eventually start to snowball. You can utilize this snowball effect to help you reach larger goals.
One Day At A Time
You can start one day at a time. This means that each day you work to transition to doing what you love compared to being stuck working the job you hate or doing something else. You do not like it. Each day you can spend as much time as possible making your passion a reality.
You can direct your time and attention to work to find a way to live off your passion. Instead of watching videos, reading the news, or following politics, you could spend that time working toward your future.
Each day you show up and do some work. It could be for an hour. You may be able to work for longer. Each day you show up is another day you dedicate to creating the future you envision for yourself.
I started my website by sporadically writing and posting articles in college. I wrote my first book, which I am preparing to self-publish. I wrote a few hundred words a day for the book. I am working to grow this substack one day at a time. It took me nearly eight years to get recognition for my website, but it happened because I was consistent.
One Year At A Time
You can then start to look out one year at a time. If you are new to long-term thinking, this strategy will help you look beyond tomorrow or this week. Write down where you would like to be in one year. Will you have begun to save more money? Will you have started to invest in the stock market? You may have decided to apply for a different job. You may have written and published your own articles or filmed your videos.
You want to begin to think long-term rather than short-term. The longer you start to view you can figure out the steps needed to get where you want to be. Visualize what you want your life to be like two years, three years, five years, and farther out.
You want to be patient. You want to be consistent.

Consistency
Consistency is the central theme of this article. You always want to show up. Each day you show up somewhere, you are making a small splash in the ecosystem you are working to build.
Shiny object syndrome is a significant issue today. I suffered from it for a long time. Shiny object syndrome is always chasing the next cool thing. It could be thinking that you must be on every social media platform. You may think it best to be on YouTube than Substack or your website. You want to play to your strengths, especially when starting.
You want to play to your strengths. Playing to your strengths is especially critical when you are just beginning. It is only you. You do not have a team around you.
Be consistent. Show up where on platforms that play to your strengths until you can scale. That is especially true if you want to build an online business. It takes time to make something of your own. Many people will not understand what you are doing. People will discourage you. They will say to play it safe by doing what works for them.
I discuss more of the challenges of entrepreneurship, the problems you will encounter, and how to get started as an entrepreneur in specific Founding Members’ posts.
