Hit the Start Button

Hello!

Welcome to On The Skids!


This is the beginning of something I have considered doing for quite a while now, but I really spent too much time fretting about things, and it was holding me back from getting started. To many of you it will be a familiar list of things.

 -How should it look?
- Would people like it?
- Would I be taken seriously? 
-I've never done this before, what if I screw it up?
-This is something new for me, and sometimes it's scary trying new things.

I heard a great bit of advice listening to a Podcast once. It was from a guy who built a successful internet retail business out of his garage. The interviewer asked what advice he would give to others who were interested in doing the same thing. His reply was "Just start. You will make mistakes along the way. You will learn from them. You always screw up the first pancake anyway, so you may as well just start cooking."

So today, I am just gonna start.

Let me share the vision with you.

On The Skids will be about Air Medical Transport. It will be about my experiences in this field. It will be about the good stories, and the sad ones too. Both are equally important. It will be about creating community. It will be about that community sharing their experiences, their knowledge, their tips and tricks. It will be about inspiring each other and a being inspired by each other. My vision is that this thing will grow, while being careful not to let it consume me and my free time.

It will be about making a difference, which is the very thing I love most about this job.

So today, it is just about hitting the Start button. Today is about breathing life into this thing that has just been an idea in my head. I encourage you to do the same in your own life. Have you been putting something off? Are you trying to find the courage to do something you think would be great if you would just get started? Hit your Start button. Make that first pancake. Insert your own metaphor here.

Whatever it is, go for it.

Take care.   -Keith
