Pusssh!

No, the title makes no reference to labour and I hope you’re not reading this while you’re in labour, if you are though, please leave a comment, fact that even women in labour read my blog will look awfully good on my resume!

Anyway, the title refers to an analogy that I came across in Ready, Fire, Aim.

Getting a business (or new product) started is like moving a stopped train. It takes a lot of energy to break it free from its stationary physics, but once it is put in motion it accelerates with relative ease.

Keep this metaphor in mind when you begin your entrepreneurial venture. Imagine your challenge as an immense train, sitting dead still on a set of shiny new tracks that lead directly–and with a slight downward slope–to a Golden City. That city is waiting to welcome you as its newest citizen and shower you with its golden benefits.

You just have to get it moving.

Shiny train track.

Shiny train track.

As for my train, GizmoBooks, it’s moving very slowly. One user registration here, one there and pretty soon will be moving full speed, إن شاء الل (God Willing).

Update: I’m getting way too many spam comments from this post for some reason. Therefore, disabling comments just for this post.
