Great post - Lot's of good points.

For myself (40 yrs old today:) I jumped into the workforce very young but was not serious until I had my first child at 25. After just a few years of working, I knew that my time was more important so I started trying to get new ideas and ventures off the ground. I struggled to find what I was passionate about and proficient at. After a few more years i had some success, but nothing game changing.

What did change though was I knew I could do it again and do it better next time.

Not having a lot of support and trying to do it all on my own; the greatest resource I have found over the last 15 years has been books, and audio books.

I love anything that keeps my hyped up for the challenges of the day. Stuff that teaches me new skills, hones old ones and really just helps push me to take massive action that day. If things are really doing well I find it hard to sleep at night because ideas keep flowing and when things are tough I remind myself that I did the best I could today and there will be tomorrow.

I hear from a lot of people who get stuck on getting started.

Everything from company formations, setting up business accounts, worry about the taxes and financials...... everyone gets stuck on something.

I say REACH OUT and someone that has been there before is going to grab your hand and help you; it's very rewarding to do so. Then pay it forward and do the same for someone else when you can.

Great post!
