“You don’t have to get it right… you just have to get moving” – Gary Halbert, Boron Letters
Stuck?
Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live coming to you live from grants pass Oregon today. And the real question is, are you stuck? Do you suffer from writer’s block?
Do you get in these times where you just not sure what to do, where to go, how to do it?
Quick little quote from Gary Halbert as a famous a copywriter marketer. This is from his book, The Boron Letters. It’s a good book. It’s worth reading, small book. These were letters sent from Boron prison where he was at, for some type of mail fraud or something like that…some deal.
He talks about it, but these are letters to his son Bond Halbert. And in this particular point he says,
“You don’t have to get it right,you just have to get moving.”
And what he’s telling him about is how to get out there and just start writing and start getting good at writing. And it’s, but it’s a concept that applies to anything.
Sometimes the best advice for getting started with something is just to get moving.
Just get going.
If you take the concept of writer’s block, let’s say you had a writer’s block, you’re not able to come up with anything, you’re not able to write that next article or what have you. The best thing to do is just start writing and it doesn’t matter if you start writing a song that you have in your head or nonsense words start writing in that process, in getting into emotion, it will turn into something.
So here’s a great example.
These videos, I’ve started doing these videos back in May of this year and the whole process with them, I wasn’t exactly sure where I wanted to go with it, but I had found through repetition that it helped to just get started to just get moving.
And then I’d find my way through it.
And I have. I’ve done pretty well with these, been pretty happy with them and I plan to do more with them. I’ve got more ideas, more directions to go with them and things to do with the material after it’s been recorded.
So you could be watching this live, but you also may be listening to a recording. You may be listening to a podcast, you may be watching this years later. All of that is by design and all of that I may have come up with later.
You know, different ways to be able to get this information out that you may be reading the transcript of this somewhere. These are all things that come about because I started putting things into motion.
Whatever you’re looking to do, even if you’re not quite sure how to do it, put it into motion.
Don’t worry about getting it right, start it. Doesn’t need to be public, but you need to start the process. Start going forward in the direction that you think is the right way and pay very close attention while you’re doing it to see if it’s going to continue being the right way and you’ll find your way through it.
It’s the best advice out ther and it’s so simple that most people miss it.
Most people will get caught up in this place of writer’s block.
It’s not just about writing, it’s about everything. We get into a place of analysis paralysis and we just don’t want to move forward where the best thing you could possibly do with that thing that you’re just not sure what to do with is to move forward with it and go from there.
So that’s just a little piece of advice, if that’s sounds like the type of thing that you needed advice on or the type of, you know, just simple advice, simple pointers to be able to get you moving in the right direction.
Maybe you’re someone that we, that I should talk to, you know, especially if you’re a business owner or you’re an executive.
