Finding your support network

You are intelligent. You are capable. You have the vision and you’re ready to do whatever it is that you want to do. Why then, can you not get started? You don’t lack the motivation. You don’t lack the commitment or the knowledge. You know what your goal is, but you lack some of the resources to get there. The first, and fundamental resource you need, is people.

There are some things you can do very well by yourself, for example, you might play a musical instrument very well. But to create a symphony of sound, as with any other large movement, you will need assistance from the rest of the orchestra.

To try to reach your goal alone is like trying to conduct and play in the orchestra at the same time. Obviously this is not possible. To produce a masterpiece, you need a conductor as well as support from backing instruments. Thus, as a conductor you need to trust, and rely upon the skills of the orchestra to follow your lead.

At the risk of carrying on the analogy too far, continuous solitary focus will result in nothing but awful music. So, decide on your strength and go about finding the right people to support you.
