Just Take yourself seriously

What are the problems one could face when in the initial phases of starting something new?

• Visibility
• Credibility
• Other's Confidence
• Right People to work for you
• Right Contacts
• and finally, being taken seriously.

I have not quoted money as being one of the issues as if you have solution for the upper problems we can assume that money should not be a problem. Lets look at these problems.

Visibility. Hmmm.. How do i make myself or the firm visible in this ocean of big fishes? Name is not heard, nor is the work. Neither I have proved myself before nor have I got the chance. All I have is the inner drive which is unfortunately neither measurable nor physically visible. And when you somehow convince them about your drive to do an extreme work and cross any boundary and barrier, they will ask you, how can I be sure that you will ultimately succeed in doing so. How can you prove that you are not just any dedicated soldier who lost his life even much before the end and without knowing the end. And the worst thing is when you have to deal with the people who think they know you just too well to have complete confidence on you. Cos either they have seen you failing or baking off. Its same as proving them that this time you are 100% sure that you are in love. Then comes the people. Few you will need to work with you. And few other to work for you. You will be scared of few who you know are capable of stealing your idea or focus. And then there will be thousands you know are not suitable for working with you. And dont forget those who dont want to work for you. Not cos they dont like you. But they are waiting for you to set up the path. Make their struggle easier even before they join. Its human nature. No point blaming any one of them.

There is only one solution for all of these problems. Take yourself seriously. If you believe you can, surely you will. Patience comes next. Cos the best thing about God is, His ideas are always better then yours. And sometimes tricky to understand. Taking yourself seriously will give you all the hope and courage you will ever need. You will start talking to yourself and ensure that you are never alone. You will discuss plan with yourself to ensure there is someone who is listening to you. Your self alter-ego will have no credibility issues, neither will it demand confidence pointers. Just follow yourself and one day you will realise the world is walking behind you. But there is just one thing you should never ever forget. Dont start walking without a vision. When you start walking, you will have faint idea of what your vision is. Just like the faint light coming out from that long tunnel. Just follow that trace of light and at the end you will see you formidable sun and vision, both.
