Creation

Being a father of 3, one might say that I have a good handle on how to create. Artistically, however, my 7 year old can draw better than me. I'm not artistic. I had to accept this at a young age. But not being artistic isn't the same thing as not being creative. Creativity comes in many forms and luckily for me I have been gifted with a creative imagination.

I've always had ideas in my mind. Most of them I thought were too pie-in-the-sky to make reality. Whether it was how to make more money or how to make the world a better place, I always thought that these "ideas" were out of my reach. As people, we convince ourselves that we can't do something, sometimes even before we try. We always imagine things are harder to do than they are. I mean sure, some things are difficult. But in all honesty, the only thing stopping us is ourselves and the amount of effort we're willing to put in.

My "eureka" moment came recently when I discovered how easy it was to create a webpage. I always thought that it took a borderline genius with a strong understanding of how the entire internet worked in order to make a webpage. Now by know means do I kid myself that the site I built is something fantastic (check it out yourself at www.88marketingstyles.ca). It has a cool look to it but overall it's pretty basic. The thing is, I created it. Great or small, it's mine. As I constantly learn more, I'm sure the depth of my web-page creating ability is only going to grow. The thing is, I never thought I could do it but I tried.

So you may be asking "what is the point to this?". Great question - I'm glad you asked. The point is that having the ability to create is not necessarily something that comes natural to everyone. But having the ability to learn how to create does. 30 days ago I was employed in the daily deal industry. My dreams of creating a empire didn't exist. Since then, I've learned how to start my own business, recognize and engage the market for my business, write a blog based on my experiences, register domains and seek out qualified web hosts, create a webpage, and create marketing campaigns. All I did was suck up my fears and dedicate myself to the creation. It IS that easy. Now all you have to do is convince yourself you CAN do something. If you don't think you can, then just try. You might be surprised.
