Do or Do Not, There is No Try

The video below is a quick 3 minute clip that follows my blog the other day " Broadcast It " about how important it is to have a vision and message behind what you do (whether its music, family, business,etc). It also touches on being a doer and being passionate about what you do. The first minute of the clip is a funny, yet true, Yoda explanation to how entrepreneurs think.

Coming from Brad Feld, a successful entrepreneur, investor, and VC, you can see that I am not completely full of crap, haha.  Doing what you love, being passionate about it, and doing it 110% eventually leads success and happiness. This applies to everyone, not just entrepreneurs.

It also makes the journey a ton of fun and a hell of a story. Even though there is a ton of risk, stress, mistakes, failures, the triumphs make it worth while. We often joke that they could make a movie series about some of the ridiculous stuff we've been through in the startup of GoNextWorld.

When you live the  "Do" personality vs. "Try", you live a much less restrained life style.  "Trying" sets an internal mindset that there could be internal or external forces, rules, guidelines, etc. that may keep you from completing what you set out to do.  Even if there aren't those restrictions, that fact you subconsciously think there might be hinders progress.  People who just do it (copywrite JWD) have no boundries, no restraints, and therefore, they will seemingly do anything to complete what they set out to do.
 Enjoy the video.
