Get Up And Get Moving

Get Up And Get Moving

Once you have decided to take responsibility and make changes in your personal life, your business or your community, it is necessary to take action. You can have all the lofty goals and ambitions you want but until you actually take some action, they remain simply wishes and unfulfilled dreams. The Bible tells us that faith without works is dead. The key to all personal power is action.

Taking Action

Make that extra phone call, write that extra letter, send the email, or do whatever it is that you have a tendency to avoid doing. Procrastination is surely a death rattle. It will stop us from ever achieving our goals. It will prevent us from ever having that which we want and deserve for ourselves and our loved one's. In order to live fully, you must end procrastination -- now. Don't be like the guy who was going to start a club for procrastinator's but decided to wait.

Do It Now

How many times have you had a great idea for a business and six months later saw it sitting on a shelf somewhere? Someone had stolen your idea. How many times have you had an idea at work and hesitated, only to find someone else had made the suggestion and received the credit for it? Let me ask you a question. What was the difference between your idea and the person who actually implemented it? I'm sure you have already guessed it. They took action. It's that simple. Action. The way to realize the power and potential you have is to take action.

Have a plan

Once you have decided on your goal, and written it down. Then, write down the action steps you will need to take to reach it.

If your goal is to increase your sales by 30% in the next six months, write down the actions you will need to take, step by step. This may mean developing an advertising program or hiring a new salesperson. Perhaps you will want to send a letter to all of your present customers. Whatever it is you want to do, there are steps you can take to accomplish your objective. Write them down.

Be sure to include one or two things you can do right now, today, to get yourself moving toward your new goal. Doing something immediately brings into being the law of physics that says an object in motion tends to stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. By taking the first step, however small, you are putting yourself and your talents in motion and before you realize it, you will have reached your destination.
