Do you know who the most successful people in the world are?
It’s easy: they’re the ones who take the most ACTION.
The Only Thing That Matters …
Really, the only thing that matters when it comes down to improving yourself, is that you take action. Everything else you do really has no effect.
It’s a law that every action has an equal and opposite reaction — and that’s what improving yourself is all about!
You’ve got to DO something in order to GET something (not just talk about it).
Like Ben Franklin said:
“Well done is better than well said.”
Why Some People Never Succeed …
I get dozens of emails every day from people who are not action takers, and because of this they’ll never succeed. Their emails read like this:
- “Thanks for the free advice, I’m going to get started soon …”
- “I need more tips — I don’t know where to start …”
- “Can you help me get started?”
And it goes on and on…
What’s the comminalities between these phrases? They’re all waiting. They’re all not taking action. And because of this they’ll never get what they want.
Do NOT be like them.
F*ck Excuses – Just Do Something!
I think I should get Nike to change their logo to that, instead of “Just do it” — it should be “F*ck Excuses – Just do it!” because that’s really the mindset you’ve got to have if you want to achieve anything.
- Think you are going to “get started soon”? Bullsh*t. You never will. Get up and doing something right NOW. Even if it’s just a tiny step in the right direction. Those tiny steps have a compounding effect and eventually add up. Saying you’re going to do something does NOT add up.
- Think you need some more tips or info to get started at something? No you don’t. You just need to remember to Ready, Fire, and THEN Aim. Jump in (maybe not head first or with both feet) but at least get started.
- Think you need help to get started or get motivated? No you don’t! Do you need “help” to get started to go to work … or motivated to go to work? No! You just know you NEED to do it so you do (whether you like it or not). Turn your goal into a “NEED” and watch yourself get it done without needing an ounce of motivation.
You Always Have Two Choices …
When it comes down to achieving your goals or changing your life in any way, there’s always two choices laying before you:
- You can look for and find an excuse for why you can’t take action (“not the right time” … “need more info” … “need more advice” … “don’t have the resources”) — OR …
- You can look for and find a reason why you CAN take action (“I lost my job, so now is a perfect time to start a business” … “I lost my house, so now is a perfect time to find a new place” … “I’ve gained some weight over the winter, so it’s a good reason to get back in shape and stay that way this time” … “I can’t afford a gym membership, so I’ll find a fun way to workout in the sun outside” )
The choice is always yours … so I hope (for your sake) you choose wisely and start becoming an action-taker!
