PMA - Positive Mental Attitude

How far can you get with it?  A PMA.

How far can you get without it?.. A negative mental attitude.  If you never thought you could swim or ride a bike,  would you even try?  The expectation of being able to do something having seen other people do it ahead of you is part of the PMA.  The expectation on top of have the can do attitude.  They go hand in hand.

Followed by action.
You see your friends ride/swim.  You now think you can do it too.  So you jump in the pool or get on the bike.  Action.

Now.. you likely choked on some water or skinned a knee jumping right at it.  I definitely remember doing both.
However, what did you do after that?  Did you give up or try again?  It certainly could not have taken all that long with either task.  Especially with someone there for support - holding on to the back of the bike or training wheels / swimming right along with you.  I remember both being a little scary, but with some reassurance that I could do it.... that I / ME could do it, I kept trying.

Seems like a simple enough story.. but now take that ahead a few decades.  What are you trying to accomplish?
A new career?
A new home business?
You have seen others do it.  You know it can be done.  Do you believe YOU can do it?  Can you see YOURSELF succeeding?
Those are the next steps aren't they.

Until next time,
