Baby steps. That's how we learn to walk & it's how I'm learning to get my creative art biz off and running. It's been slow going because of my technological "challenges". I wanted to use the word "impairment", but my brother-in-law said that sounds like a disability. Enough said.
My business mentor says I need to get over myself (my paraphrase) and remove the 't and all I'll be left with is CAN. Good stuff. Next, he says, all I have to do is ask myself HOW can I? Just the kick in the artistic backside I needed.
So, Baby Step One: I got over myself & told myself I CAN do it.
Baby Step Two: I went home from our meeting, got online, and actually figured out a few things for myself.
Baby Step Three: (I call this one Perseverance.) For me, it's doing what the Nike slogan says: "Just Do It". I have to give my sister credit here for being my patient Help Line when I can't figure something out, but it is exciting to see my fear of computers lessening and my tech abilities growing.
I don't see myself running anytime soon, but I'm learning how to do the HOW CAN I? walk.
Baby steps.
