A lot of people will tell you the first step to starting something new is to have an idea. But to me the first step starts long before that.

It's in the gap between what's being said and what's not being said that entrepreneurs thrive.

The first step to living the life you want is leaving the life you don't want. Taking that first step forward is always the hardest. But then each step forward gets easier and easier.
