- Ask people who have already done it. We live in a society where many things have been done before, by others who are usually still proud of them. Ask them how they did it. Ask about the obstacles and the pitfalls and how to get over them.
- Go to the end and look back. Try to imagine the result. As detailed, realistic and visual as possible. And then look imaginatively at the path you have taken there. The resources you needed, the obstacles you took, the help you brought in.
- Do not know straight away. It is not at all a problem or odd that you do not immediately know how to tackle something in detail. That is very common. Seek help and advice. Ask for advice. Sometimes it will be free of charge, sometimes you will have to pay for it.
- Make a schedule. Draw up a schedule and stick to it. Do the most important thing first. Overflow and rearrange your plan every evening before you start working the next day. Draw up a do-list for the day after, then you can start immediately in the morning.
- Get a head start. The American author Mark Twain sees it as follows: The secret to the lead is: start. And starting is: dividing the task into smaller tasks. And getting smaller tasks done is: starting with the first task. Right now.
“Leading by example is not the most important way to serve others, it's the only way." - Albert Schweitzer
