Starting Out...

There’s an old joke about a motorist, lost in the middle of nowhere, who asks a wily old local for directions, only to be told “Well if I was you, I wouldn’t be starting from here”.

And that’s the problem we face when we want to achieve our big, wonderful goal (or any smaller goals we might set along the way) - we can’t start from where we want to because we have to start from here.

So we have a choice - abandon the goal because we can’t start with a blank sheet of paper, or use that blank sheet of paper to work out a plan for the work we need to do to get to where we need to be…
