Don't be a "gunna".

Throughout the day I often have people ask me how I got started with my own business. My simple reply to them is that I had an idea and a vision for my future. Pretty simple really!

Unfortunately this alone is not enough to run a successful business. You actually then have to go and "do" something.

I know of several friends and clients of mine who, every time I speak to them, tell me of their next big business venture. I think with one of my clients, I've heard of perhaps 6-7 different ideas in the past 12 months alone. To this day I don't think any of these ideas have actually got off the ground. These people I refer to as "gunnas".

I'm sure you all know of a "gunna" or two. They're "gunna" do this; they're"gunna" do that; they're "gunna" change the world or "gunna" be a millionairre.

Whatever you do, don't become a "gunna". Nothing infuriates me more than people who live and act like this.

I would much rather see people have a crack at getting one (perhaps two) ideas off the ground and seeing how they turn out, than listen to someone who changes with the wind from day to day.

It's all well and good to have a million different ideas, but at some point in time, you actually have to do something.

In the words of the great John Kennedy (the football coach, not the President):
"Don't think, do something!"

What have you done recently?
