get in the game

Your first move is not your big vision. It’s the first step towards it.

Starting big is risky. Spending months planning, fundraising, building castles in the sky. All while delaying what matters most, feedback from your market.

The safer path is starting smaller, slower. Taking the first step toward your vision now, today.

No matter if you want to be the taco king of the world, or write an international bestseller, you won't get there on day one.

But you can set up a taco stand in your backyard and serve friends and family. Expand to your neighbours. Then, maybe a food truck. Word will spread if you make great tacos.

And if you want to be an author. Write one chapter and share it with a few readers. Get feedback. Improve.

Your small wins build momentum. And momentum builds as you go.

That’s how you bootstrap the impossible. You get in the game sooner rather than later.

Bootstrapping isn’t just for tech founders with laptops and wifi. It's for anyone willing to start small, stay patient, and move toward their vision one step at a time, no matter how tiny the steps may be.

And it’s humbling.

Being the backyard taco person or the writer no one knows might make you a weirdo, not a visionary. But this is how real businesses start. With what you have. And what you have is enough to make the next move. Or your first move.

Because moves made today beat the plans you save for tomorrow. While you’re waiting, others are trying, failing. But some succeed because they started. Meanwhile you’ll be left wondering why you didn't start sooner.

So instead, start now and you’ll be the one learning, adapting, moving forward, making progress. And ultimately, succeeding on your own terms.

That’s the difference between doers and dreamers.

One gets in the game with what they have today, despite lacking this or that, no matter how scary it feels. The other does not.
