Shark Tank investor, Lori Greiner, recently shared a reel on her Instagram talking about hesitation. She highlighted how many first-time entrepreneurs hesitate to act upon their first business idea that could lead to their dreams.
She said that they wait for a perfect moment or a sign that will indicate the right moment to execute their work. However, there is no right moment. Lori says that the time is now to do whatever her followers want to pursue.
Her words were filled with encouragement and wisdom, and served as a reality check for individuals who often act the same way trying to get a perfect moment out of life.
They endlessly postpone their ambitions and in this social media post, Lori addressed this tendency. She pointed out how she believes in them and thus, the right time to start working on their goals is now. Lori expressed:
"Are you waiting for a sign to finally go after your big idea? Waiting for the right time to take that first step. Well, guess what? Here it is. This is your sign. Stop holding back. Just go for it. Whatever you've been dreaming about, start now. There’s nothing standing in your way."
Shark Tank investor Lori Greiner advises followers to stop waiting and start their dream business right now
What Lori Greiner, the Shark Tank investor, has shared on her platform, resonates with the situation of many successful entrepreneurs and business people. They did not wait for the timing to be right or the conditions to be perfect or even have unlimited resources and a flawless strategy.
They just started. They took the first step even though there were difficulties and uncertainties in their path. Whatever they had learned, they had learned on the way. Talking about the same, Shark Tank's Lori says that the first step that a person could take while pursuing their business idea or a project is to set a clear goal first. They must define what they truly want.
This will set up their intentions to align with their ultimate objective. Having a vague idea could lead to ambiguity which is not good for any business model at all. On the contrary, a well-defined goal gives motivation.
The second step Shark Tank's Lori talked about is about taking smart steps and being consistent. She talked about how success is not an overnight concept. The big picture could be overwhelming; thus, it should be divided into small, manageable steps that will provide for steady growth. She says:
"One at a time gets you there."
The Shark Tank investor then discussed the concept of belief and external validation. She says that it does not matter if a person believes in you or not, you need to believe in yourself. As for the signs of a perfect moment, there are none. Lori insists her followers use this video as a "sign" that they are searching for and begin their work now. Explaining the same, she said:
"There's nothing standing in your way. Out of 8 billion people in this world, I believe in you. And honestly, that's all the signs you need... So don't sit around waiting anymore. Make it happen. You got everything it takes, I believe it and now it's time for you to believe it too."
Shark Tank season 16 episodes are released weekly on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Fridays. They are later available to watch on Hulu.
