"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What do you guys do here?

I'm a Designer/Programmer. I'm always thinking of the next new thing, and always thinking of some idea to hustle on the side, eg. come up with an interesting app taking into account my interests.

I also live in the gym with a goal to appear on fitness magazines covers - I'm in the gym 5/days a week.

I had many people coming to me saying I should train people as I get lots of people asking me how I do this and how I do that.

What do you guys do here? Anyone here have their own business?
