No One Has Ever Done It Before

The idea that No one has ever done it before might be a good thing.
It may be that you have such an original idea that no one else has ever thought of it before. Great! You may get to be the first.
It may also be that you just don’t know if someone else has tried what you want to do and didn’t follow through.
The biggest reason that this could be stopping you might be more that you don’t know what to do or how to do it since you can’t find any role models before you.
In that case, you get to make it up as you go along. Who is to say there is a right way or a wrong way?
You may want to try brainstorming some different possibilities and approaches for your dream.
If you can, get at least one person, and even better yet a group, to help you explore possibilities.
Once you have narrowed down your ideas and choose the one that sounds the best to you, begin breaking things down and determining what your very next action could be.
You may need to do research or look at some other industries or areas to get information.
Be sure to keep a notebook or journal of things as they occur to you. Start thinking about people that you may want to ask for help or that could direct you to some answers.
It may seem like a daunting task to be the trail blazer in an area but if you see it as an exciting adventure and you are willing to experiment, you’ll figure out a way.
Actually, those are good qualities to have regardless of your situation. Allowing your curiosity to take hold and being open to what lies ahead will be more exciting than to look at it as a scary unknown.
Maybe you’ll go down in the history books as being the first one to figure it out!
