Success…. at achieving baby steps…

By jopeck | January 25, 2007

Whew… its been a really busy week. Sorry for the lack of posts.

I’m proud to say I’ve just finished setting up (designing, copywriting, photography, hosting, autoresponder) website. There was so much learning to be done from HTML to Photoshop but I’m glad I did it. And I’m glad I had friends around who were willing to help me out when I got stuck.

To be honest, when I first started, it seemed like a huge project. How would I ever manage to get something presentable up and running? especially since I have very little prior knowledge of the “how to”s.

So what made it work? easy… break everything down into baby steps. Things that can be accomplished in little to no time. So I started with recording my video… took two days to do that and I still wasn’t satisfied with the quality… but remember the rule “perfectionism kills”? I took that to heart and kept going.

Next step, get the webpage done… but before doing that… get the necessary code from the autoresponder. So I spent about half a day tinkering around with the autoresponder until I got it to work the way I wanted. Then I tried plugging in the code to the webpage.

HTML is pure greek… took me a while to understand the intricacies of the language. Sigh. Must have fiddled with the code for a day before I got it to go where it was supposed to. Once the page was done, it was time to figure out how to upload it to the host.

To cut a long story short… the web page was finally completed to my satisfaction. Its not perfect but its mine! and the feeling of success and achievement is well worth the effort it took.

So you see, it is possible to take what seems like a ‘giant’ project and break it down into smaller parts. Then as you finish each part you’ll get the satisfaction of accomplishing something and that will probably give you more incentive to get going on the next step.

Try it and let me know how it works out. Remember baby steps are the key to success!
