How simplicity can change you and the world

I've spent many years working online with people who have good ideas.  Some of their ideas come to fruition.  Some stagnate.  Stagnation is caused by:

• Fear of success: they aren't sure they can handle what comes next when an idea takes off
• Lack of vision: they don't see a way to reach a lot of people with their solution
• They don't feel they are a worthy leader

Notice those fears are all about them! Their fears, their imagined shortcomings, etc.

My solution to tackling all of these is SIMPLICITY. Can you break down your idea into it's parts and help one person succeed?  Can you take your idea to one street, one town, one city?  Can you see the simplest form of it?  Shake out all the complex ways you are thinking about attacking your goal. Pick one.  

My favorite quote on taking action?  "A year from now, you'll wish you started today."
