“Being Stout”  means being BOLD enough to aim high in creating your desired reality, BRAVE enough to embark on the journey to achieve it, and DETERMINED enough to see it through. Faced with the challenge of the tasks that lie ahead, having the courage to begin is often the first thing that gets in our way. Whether it’s starting a new business venture, making a move, embracing a lifestyle change or just shifting your personal perspective to adopt a new outlook, that first step can be the most daunting.

Sherrie Campbell of Entrepreneur says the process of completing each step along the way is all about following the six A’s: Awareness, Action, Accountability, Attraction, Accomplishment, and Authority. Put these into practice, and you will find it much easier to keep moving from start-point “A” to end-point “Z”.

Wherever you are on your journey, STOUT says start each day from where you are, right now. Any movement is progress! Check out Campbell’s post and learn more about gathering the courage to start – and the tenacity to successfully complete – your journey by tapping into your stoutness.
