Mark Young sends out daily quotes from Baby Boomer Talk Online.  A few recent ones fit right in with the way that woman at the bottom of the stairs may feel.  And with what happens to be our  Theme for the Week:  There’s NO way.

Our Quote of the Week reminds us that even a journey of  1000 miles begins with a single step.     It can be  step that  takes 5 minutes or less.  It just must be taken.   Just to “get the ball rolling”.  To feel a hint of progress.  A bit of achievement.  A sense of success. 

Here are the words of  nudging wisdom that Mark recently sent: 

  “Planning is good, but doing is better. Stop thinking about what you need to do and just start doing it.”

 “There’s power in momentum. When you stop moving forward it’s so hard to get moving again, way harder than keeping going would have been.”

“Are you a “gunna”? You’re “gunna” do this and “gunna” do that?  You’ll learn more in your first twelve months of actually running your business and putting yourself out there than you will from any number of books, courses and videos. Information is great, but nothing beats taking action.”
