Monday Words: Start Where You Can

Over the years I’ve had many conversations with creatives. There always seems to be this looming questions that keep many from starting. In the name of perfection, projects and dreams are put on hold. I’ve heard “When I have enough money, time, or margin, I will start….,” “I will work on this dream when,” or “Do you think it’s a good idea?” While I’m all for strategy and having every piece in place before a launch I have found that sometimes you just need to start. Start somewhere. You don’t have to have the most expensive camera, shiny website, or feed.  Every person starts somewhere and comparing your start to someone’s seventh year in the industry isn’t fair to you or fair to them. It will make you feel defeated before you even begin. This week, I challenge you to run after the thing that’s been burning on your heart. It may be little or small, but take the time to invest in your dreams. For some the start looks like a purchasing a $300 camera on Craigslist, while for others it means putting your work out there. Wherever you are, write it down, share with others, find some people who inspire you, and keep moving forward.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Cheers to a great week everyone!
