The following passage occurs near the beginning of Murray's The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951):... Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
"Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! "
This is precisely what an entrepreneur needs - dreaming is the first step. Beginning your journey towards your dreams is the second step. Figuring out your way is the beginning of third step.
Once you commit yourself to the journey, providence changes. If you are committed, let us explore the third step a little in our discussions next.
