"Start small and sucky to build real momentum Marie Forleo shares that her very first workshop — titled 'How to Create a Life You Love' — was attended by exactly five people in her yoga teacher's New Jersey basement, complete with Microsoft Word handouts and clip art. Although it felt embarrassing in retrospect, she says "that small and sucky workshop gave me the courage to keep going because guess what? I had already done my lamest workshop," and that the resulting confidence "really fueled me ahead." The practical takeaway: deliberately doing your worst version first shrinks the fear of failure and generates the momentum needed to improve. Source: Marie Forleo, MarieTV, Q&A Tuesday"
