You don’t need anyone’s permission.
You don’t need anyone’s “final answer”.
You don’t need anyone’s approval.
You don’t need anyone’s negativity.
You don’t need anyone’s doubt.
You don’t need anyone’s fear.
Now that you know what you don’t need, what do you really need to do the work? I’d bet the list is a lot smaller than you’d think and found more readily than you want to admit.
There’s more how-tos, tutorials, instructional videos, raw materials, and collaboration available to the average person than at any other previous point in human history.
So what are you waiting for? What do you need?
