No Trying Allowed!

I am a HUGE fan of Star Wars. Some of my most important life lessons have been taught to me by Yoda. 

I remember when I first heard him say there was no such thing as trying. Luke Skywalker was failing miserably at lifting his X-wing fighter from a ginormous pond of ooze. 

"I'm trying," Skywalker said. "But it's too big, I can't do it."

Then Yoda taught him this valuable lesson -- 'Do or do not, there is no try." 

As entrepreneurs we can learn from Yoda. On the days when we feel stuck and overwhelmed by a challenge that seems too large for us to overcome, remember this simple lesson  ... to be successful, there is no trying allowed. Just do or do not.  

Focus, concentrate, and believe ... you have the power to make it happen!
