I think there's not really one size fits all approach to someone wanting to make that first step. I think ultimately you need to have enough of a commitment to yourself and to where you want to be and your own potential that you just start taking that one small step because it is that one small step. You don't just jump in and all of a sudden it's all burritos and strippers.
