wHAT IT TAKES TO LAUNCH

ANGELA DICKIE -EDUCATIONAL ENTREPRENEUR

You have to believe it to achieve it. Once upon a time I thought those words were just some cheesy feel good motivation mojo people used to make themselves feel good. You know that #mondaymotivation stuff. I now however, stand corrected.

After studying at the feet of some business greats (aka reading books and listening to hours of podcasts and audiobooks), studying a business diploma specialising in Entrepreneurship and launching my own brand and online course, I know that belief is everything. If you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t take the action required to even start and see if you have what it takes and where you can go.

Jack Delosa agrees and he has some weight behind his words being a Gen Y self-made millionaire and founder of the Entourage, an online educational platform for entrepreneurs. “Absolutely everything around us was once an idea,” he said. “It was once an idea in the mind of an everyday person who not only had the courage and the belief to instigate that idea, but then the perseverance the dedication to see that idea through to something that’s now in our everyday lives.”

This is what I discovered on my own personal entrepreneurial journey and launching my own course. You can have the best content, the fanciest website and the greatest funnels, but when it comes down to it, you have to believe in yourself to start, to create, to grow and finally to launch and the beauty is once you do, you really do have lift off and a new world awaits.
