If you are the type of person who talks about your future plans but never does anything, you are a talker guy. I know a lot of people who tell me “Next year I will start a new project.”, others say “Next month I’ll go to the gym. Junk food is over”. Then nothing happens. If you recognize yourself in this, you need to change something in your life.
Time is the only real asset you have. Every time you talk instead of act, you lose time. If you work on your “logo” instead of talking to users, you lose time. Eliminate the time between your thinking process and the action. One idea? One action. I used to be this type of person in the past. But I took all the “maybe” and “someday” and just did them.
You don’t do things because you don’t really know why you need to do them. Social norms influence you more than you think. A lot of people just want to put “Founder” on LinkedIn and avoid the hard parts. If you want fame, admit it. If you want money, say it. For example, one way to make money is to take on a lot of responsibility, which means giving up some freedom.
Once you realize what you truly want and admit it, you need to pursue it by removing external noise and distractions. Whatever scares you, go do it. Once you do something that scares you, you’re not scared of it anymore. As you go through life doing the things that scare you, you fear less and less in the world.
That’s how I live now.
