There's a dream you keep to yourself. You don't bring it up at dinner. You barely let yourself think about it, because saying it out loud feels a little embarrassing, like who do you think you are to want something that big.

I sat on mine for a long time for the exact same reason.

Here's what finally shook me loose. That embarrassment isn't a sign the dream is silly. It's a sign it's real, and that it scares you because you actually care about it. The stuff we don't care about never makes us blush.

So we shrink our wants down to something safe and forgettable, and then we can't figure out why the days feel flat. That flat feeling is the dream, still in the drawer, asking to be let out.

You're allowed to want it. Out loud. And building something online from home is a real, ordinary-person way to start reaching for it.

Comment YES and I'll show you where to start.

When I first thought about doing something online, I got stuck on the same thing you probably are. I looked at my sad little follower count and figured, well, that's that. Who's going to listen to me? I don't have an audience.

Here's what I wish someone had grabbed me by the shoulders and said. You do not need a big crowd. You need a few of the right people who want what you know.

The accounts you see with huge followings right now? Every single one of them opened the app one day with zero followers and hit post anyway. Nobody starts famous. They start scared, with a handful of people watching, and they keep going.

You can do that too, right from home, starting today, exactly as unknown as you feel right now. A small start is still a start.

Comment SMART and I'll show you where to begin.
