Your Mark of Genius: Start with a Bold First Step

Jim Ball, president of The Goals Institute, recommends an easy technique for working smarter and improving your overall effectiveness and results: start everything with a strong, bold, first step. His advice seems right on target for writing your business book, too.

Ball writes that that people who put in an enthusiastic effort at the beginning are more likely to end strong and with success than those who have weak or half-hearted beginnings.

What bold first step can you take today to get that business book off to a strong finish? As Goethe was reputed to have said, “What you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.”
