I’ll be the first to admit that starting a project without any money is not ideal and can make things more difficult.

But you know what, the real thing that’s holding you back isn’t money, it’s yourself.

Money can’t replace passion, commitment, drive and sheer determination to succeed. Money doesn’t do whatever it takes to succeed and it certainly makes it easy for you to take no for an answer.

I know you’re smart enough to solve any problem that history says only money can solve.

I know you’re passion will drive you to succeed where money will only make you complacent.

And I certainly know you’re not the type of person to let a small obstacle like money get in the way of achieving your dream.

Or am I wrong about you?

I was talking to a friend the other day and I was explaining to him how I balance working a full time job, raising two kids, and running a business.

The trick is, I explained, is to stop wasting time and just do what needs to be done.

If you take away the time you spend watching TV every night, the random web surfing and video game playing you’ll never be able to say that you don’t have enough time. There is plenty of time as long as you focus.

When you stop procrastinating you’ll be amazed at how much work you can actually get done.

So go and do something great.

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog or giveaway videos you won’t be shocked to hear me say that I believe anyone can accomplish anything they desire as long as they’re willing to work hard and focus their passion.

The key is to start. Start anything. Most people never start.

Maybe it’s lack of confidence, fear of uncertainty or even laziness.

But you know what? You don’t have to do it alone.

When I started I went at it alone and I’ve realized one important truth: It’s ok to ask for help along the way.

With that in mind I want to let you know about a great new program by Communitech called Hyperdrive.

10 companies will be given the chance to work within a network of over 90 professionals and if you have a look at who’s in this network you’ll know that this is an opportunity worth so much more than money.

This is an intense program that isn’t for the faint of heart, but if you’re motivated enough backed up with a solid idea and plan this is a great place to start.

I plan to be there.

Where will you be?

I love the idea of doing things alone.

To me there’s just something so romantic about coming from nothing and rising all the way up to the top. Beating all the odds and proving to everyone that told you can’t that you can.

But you know, even the best get help along the way.

It’s much easier to climb a mountain with a team then by yourself. And a lot more fun to have people to celebrate with when you get to the top.
