Nothing Happens Until You Move

Start small, dream huge but begin today.

That’s the message I got from one of my favourite leadership experts, Robin Sharma.

It got me thinking about taking action. So many people know exactly what they “need to do” but they just don’t do it. If people only did what they already knew how to do… things would change!

But, they make excuses. They procrastinate, and many quit.

Fear and overwhelm take over. Truth is, taking massive action doesn’t need to be something that has you shaking at the knees not knowing what to do. Taking massive action can be as simple as taking small daily action steps to start towards your outrageous goal, and then taking bigger steps, and more risk as you go along.

Here are a few things that may help you take the action you need to take:

Get in touch with the fear. Why are you stuck? What’s really going on? Is it a past failure? Is it time? Perhaps the task at hand might be beyond your expertise (that might be a sign to outsource!) Bottom line is,knowing what’s going on will help you determine what you need to do next and how to get unstuck.

Do something easy. Do something easy but productive. Just DO SOMETHING. Call a prospect you have a good rapport with. Send out an email to your list. Follow up with your current customers. Do something that won’t overwhelm you but is productive and can yield results – results that will help you to keep moving forward rather than remain stuck.

Do something difficult. Maybe it’s time to get out of your comfort zone. It may be just what you need to propel yourself forward. Everything else after that will be a snap!

Review your goals. Take a look at why you are doing what you are doing. Sometimes, not focusing on the action but what the ultimate goal is and your ‘Why” might be the motivation needed to take the action.

Commit to the Power of 5. Take 5 action steps every day. 5 paces forward every day gets you closer to your destination.

There is nothing that activity won’t solve.

To your success and outrageous goals,

Tereza
