When was the last time you wanted to do something but didn’t because of the fear of being the only one doing it?

It might be taking that first step in starting your own business, making that decision regardless of the hate that society will regurgitate at you, and going on that trip alone when no friends of yours were ready for it.

It is taking that first initiative to start your own journey regardless of any excuses.

Developing the habit of going first puts you on an unknown path where it’s inevitable for you to not fall. Pick yourself up because no one will do it for you.

It sets you up for so many life opportunities and experiences as now you don’t fear doing anything new. You look at failure as an experience.

What if you faced an opportunity that led to changing your life when you were going first? What if learning that skill compounded into making your own multi-million dollar company?

Introduce yourself to new ideas.

Quit that job.

Start that business.

Ask those people out.

It is a trait that you’ll most commonly see in successful people. They execute on that contrarian idea they have by going first. They are not afraid of taking those risks. Because if they did, they wouldn’t be there.

Actionable steps:

When was the last time you wanted to do something but didn’t because of the fear of being the only one doing it and missed that opportunity by waiting for something else to happen first.

Well, we’ve all experienced it. It’s not taking that first step in anything because of the fear of failing in it.

Widen your perspective and look at it as a source of endless new opportunities and experiences for life. It would be a story that no one else could replicate because you were the only one to intentionally fall into the unknown and create a new, stronger version of yourself.

This is your sign to start doing things even when you fear being left out in the unknown.

Make a habit of going first
