To make the right as the first step toward the goal

commerce industry has convinced us that buying new things - a reasonable first step toward our goal. But we actually do not pay money for a product, and for the best version of themselves. Only the pleasure of this passes quickly, and by the end, we did not approach.

Remember how often we buy a new gadget or a book that should help us to become better. We think that we have done something important and closer to your goal, but in fact we just spent money and time.

We are doing the wrong first step, if:

• buy a new sportswear instead start exercising;
• We buy a new computer, rather than to start writing a book on the old;
• we undertake a new project that has not yet finished the previous one;
• read reviews of new cameras, but not use the fact that we already have.

Purchase should be the first step on the way to the goal. Even if you buy a new thing, you still need to first bring himself to use it. It is possible after purchase you will understand that this thing is actually you do not need.

1. Make the most difficult

Deep down, we almost always know what to avoid. It is an act or decision is often the most important thing is to achieve the goal. But we repeatedly distracted by false first steps. To move forward, you do not buy something new, and do what we think is the most difficult.

2. Think like an entrepreneur

Instead of investing money in an untested idea, good entrepreneurs look for minimally viable solution. Then check whether it works, whether it is people are interested, and at an early stage to identify shortcomings of his ideas.

If you rarely picks up his camera, new expensive camera does not make you a good photographer. You need more practice. Chances are you do not even know what exactly the functions are missing your old camera.

The best solution in this case, — to train with the fact that you already have.

3. Reinforce the habit, before you spend money

If you are not trying to achieve something using your existing resources, and immediately want to buy something new, stop and think about the situation. Try to escape from the cycle thoughtless consumption.

To change, you need to spend time and effort.

Find some simple action that can be performed on a daily basis and which will help you to strengthen the coveted habit. For example, if you want to start running, do not buy right away, new running shoes, and try every day for a month to go for a walk. When the habit takes root, you really notice the difference from the new sneakers and want to improve on.

4. Take the necessary equipment for hire

In order not to clutter up the house, and do not waste money on the wrong first step, lend or rent the necessary equipment, which should help you to reach your goal. You are unlikely to put it to use for later, because it must be repaid. And in the process understand whether to buy it if it does you need and costs. So you will save your time and money.

5. Do not be afraid to make mistakes

The best way to understand what you really need - is to try and be patient failure. Trying to get things done, you will learn how to ask the right questions and find the answers, and next time you'll get better. Just so you understand what you need to do to move forward.

Of course, we are afraid to fail, but the recognition of this fear helps you get things done. Instead of buying a new book on nutrition or a new camera, and then blame them for their failures, try to recognize that mistakes - a natural part of development.
