Get Started Building

I've been sharing with the youth I work with about "building" all month long.

Even if you're not in the construction business, there are a lot of applications to the principal of building. If you want to build a reputation, a relationship, a skill, a ladder to a goal, etc. learning the process of building can be valuable.

One of the main obstacles to building something significant in our lives is that we don't even get started! Why? Because most things suck when they begin. If you just started playing an instrument, or dribbling a basketball, or running a business -- ah you probably are pretty terrible (despite what your mom says).

People may tease you, doubt you, and hate on you which is not motivating to start. But you have to start.

A business mentor once taught me, "To be great you first have to be good. To be good you first have to be bad. To be bad you first have to get started."

Don't look down on small beginnings (Zech 4:10a)

Let's go people.
