Monday Motivation - Start to Succeed

Happy Monday, IABX community!

This Monday, let’s remind ourselves that the hardest part is often just getting started.

Mark Twain said it perfectly:

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.”

How many times have we told ourselves, “I’ll do it tomorrow,” “I’ll start next week,” or “I’ll wait until I’m ready”?

Whether it’s starting a new habit, working on a personal goal, writing that book, or just cleaning up something we’ve been avoiding, getting started can feel like the biggest challenge.

But here’s the truth: You don’t have to have it all figured out. You don’t have to take a giant leap. You just have to take one small step forward.

It can be as simple as:

• Writing the first sentence

• Making a to-do list

• Setting a 10-minute timer to begin

Doing one thing that moves you closer to your goal

Once you start, even if it’s small, something amazing happens—you begin to build momentum. And that momentum leads to progress. One small action turns into the next. Before you know it, you’re further along than you thought you could be.

You don’t need perfect timing. You don’t need to wait until you feel motivated.

You just need to start.

Whatever is on your heart or mind today—whether it’s something personal, creative, professional, or simple—take that first step this week. You’ll thank yourself for beginning.

Progress doesn’t come from thinking about it. It comes from doing something about it.

Have a strong, confident, and forward-moving Monday.

Let’s get started. 💪✨

Have a great week!
