Just Before Launch, You're Waiting Like This

Just before you take a huge  step towards your goal there will be great opposition. It can feel as though you are a rocket just sitting, waiting for lift off.

I mean stuff that will try to distract you from making the move that you know is decisive and everything hinges on your strategic action. There will come a day and time when you face this if you haven’t already. Brace and prepare for it. It could be in the form of lack of energy, disappointment, discouragement, conflicting views. It could be something as tragic as a personal loss. Who knows? I have discovered that often we are either headed into a storm or coming out of one. Believe me. Continue Reading…

Someone To Push

October 8, 2011 in Blogging with 0 Comments

The most amazing thing about blogging through this process is the learning experience. With this experience has come the need to dig even deeper in writing than I thought I was capable of doing.

As mentioned before, in this post, I am taking part in the BlogX challenge by John Saddington of Tentblogger.com. A huge reason for the consistency of posts here is because of his encouragement. Yes, I know I can be a better writer. But for now, my main focus is consistency.

We all need to be pushed. It helps when you have someone to challenge you, to push past you your comfort zone to do something you may have not thought was possible.

No, this isn’t about crowd funding today. However, I just want to encourage you to find someone to help push you.

Have a great day!

What is it? The ingredient is: Perseverance.

Since I started this blog with a new beginning, the will to push past my inabilities, reservations, and physical weariness has been needful. Sometimes, you just have to keep taking one step at a time. It is not in leaps and bounds, but the continuous efforts to reach your ultimate goal. Don’t get me wrong, leaps are great, but when you are building, you have to lay one brick at a time.

October 6, 2011 in Business, Money with 0 Comments

I’m not an expert in crowd funding. I’m simply sharing what I’m discovering in the journey to launch a successful project. I’ve already mentioned my thoughts about Rockethub as a viable platform to accomplish your fundraising goals. If you missed the post, you can read it by clicking here. I hope you see what I see in RH and how it can help you and/or your organization.

Okay, now that I have selected a platform. What about the pitch? Regardless of what platform we use, we must have something to say and share that will make people want to support our efforts. You agree right? I thought so.

Ideas must be communicated in a clear, compelling manner. This is as much as I know about pitching ideas.
