Why this blog?

Think back to a time when someone told you, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” I am willing to bet that this was a moment when you stumbled. Something went very wrong for you and a well-intended mentor, relative, or colleague said this to you for two reasons: 1) to make you feel better about your mis-step, and 2) to encourage you not to give up and keep trying. 

This blog is intended to tell you that it absolutely IS about how you start –

Starting well saves a lot of time and worry, creates self-confidence, and inspires life-changing relationships. First impressions take six times to change. Good first impressions allow you to mis-step five times. Bad first impressions promise five more auditions and are never fully forgotten. Mastering the art of lasting first impressions is what stellarBeginings is all about.

This blog will share tools, tips, and insights for creating stellarBeginnings everyday.
