Practice

Right after you get all the information you need to take the first step in creating a component of the life of your dreams, you run into a scary obstacle. You don't know how to do it because you've never done it before. This is a great recipe for procrastination because everytime you think about taking this next step, the fear comes up, and you start doing something else. Guess what! There's a very easy way to practice without having any fear of screwing up. Sitting quietly in your favorite chair, imagine yourself taking the next step. Imagine all the ways you could mess up because you've never done it before. Then imagine all the ways you could avoid these mess ups. See if you need more information. If not, then you have practiced without bad consequences for mess ups and you are ready to take the step for real. You have prepared yourself to avoid problems and will probably sail through the experience successfully.
