This was supposed to be about something else. Its not what we expected it to be. But once we started, it took on a life of its own. And now it's this. And as a result its hopefully better than the original idea.
Such is life. Such happy things only happen if you get started on something. Theres something to say about this in .
Originally the book was intended specifically for people teetering on the brink of setting up their own first business and in need of a friendly shove in the right direction. But it changed.
The impetus needed to start a business is the same as anyone teetering on the brink of anything. So for youthis is your kick in the pants.
If you want to do something but secretly fear youre never going to do it, whatever that might be, then this might help you:
- Go to the Amazon
- Throw yourself into retraining
- Lose a dress size
- Go back to school
- Write a book
- Ditch your partner
- Take your company in a new direction
- Create art
- Learn to play polo
- Seek the promotion you want

As a result its not written just for the entrepreneurial business person but for the entrepreneurial in spirit. The lessons, the advice, the nagging, the cartoons, the jokes, the exaggerations and the things that possibly never really happened all these things apply to anyone trying to cross that bridge between their dreams and their reality.
Talking of the things-that-probably-never-really-happened
A Tibetan Lama was speaking to a group of monks and to make a point, pulled out a large jar, set it on the table in front of him, produced a few fist-sized rocks, and placed them, one by one, into the jar.
When no more rocks would fit inside, he asked: Is this jar full? Everyone said: Yes. He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel, dumped some in and shook the jar, the gravel worked between the rocks. Again, he asked: Is this jar full? The monks were catching on. Probably not, one answered.
Good! he replied and reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He dumped the sand into the jar until it filled all the crevices. Once more he asked: Is this jar full?
No! the monks shouted. Good! he said and grabbed a pitcher of water and poured it until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he asked, What is the point of this illustration? One young monk responded, The point is, no matter how full your day you can always fit some more things in.
No,: the speaker replied, the point is that if you dont put the big rocks in first, youll never get them in at all. What are the priorities in your life?

So we sent Rita an email explaining our odd request for permission to use the photo and she generously sent us the original photo with her blessing. It just shows how connected and supportive the world is once you start doing things!
