The path might be clear
Since starting in my new role, I have had moonshots plastered not only in my head, but on my whiteboard. Everyday that I am at work, this list will continue to grow. With every google search, read of my LinkedIn feed, with every drive, new light is shed on a corner of the world I wasn’t paying attention to. After this, I am only left with the ‘How’ and ‘Who’ in order to achieve my goals.
Why have the audacity to contact a multi-million dollar business or CEO directly in the first place? I believe that, in life, there are already enough limitations placed on us that we should’t be placing any on ourselves. The mailbox, schedule or calendar of that moonshot may not be as full as many might lead themselves to believe. How many individuals have been so nervous that they have psyched themselves out before they have given themselves the chance to even hit send on an email? (Hint - Too many!).
For every one hundred people you think are in line or taking action before you, I doubt there would even be 10. For every amazing business you think is out there servicing the needs of their clients perfectly, you just might be doing that thing they do even better.
Take a shot, the path to getting to where you want to may just be clearer than you think - so start walking it.
