Beginning Things

“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.”
― John Wooden

There are so many exciting possibilities on the internet – making your own website, publishing your own eBook, connecting with people on Social Media, making your own marketing items, creating digital art... Some things can seem too tricky or the learning process can seem to steep. But I recommend to just jump on in and get started - begin at the beginning, and do a bit at a time until you get the hang of it.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
― Lao Tzu

The key is to be kind to yourself and give yourself time to learn. Use whatever learning techniques work for you, and begin sharing your project even if it's not completely finished to the level you would like - start small and slowly build on what you can do. I learnt from an elderly client to just do things to a 'good enough' stage then tweak them later, as needed.

“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”
― John Anster

There are loads of options to help folks learn these days - a local short course, library books, online courses, YouTube, Pinterest, or just some plain internet research. I know I learn best from reading and watching things - no point me listening to something because it really does go in one ear and out the other!

Good luck starting your new project!  :-)
