Never Wait – Ready, Fire, Aim!

by Caleb Lee on February 27, 2009

beach-photoI want to share with you one of the most important factors in my success and in all areas of my life today — both in my health, my wealth and my relationships.

If you just adopt this one habit of super successful people into your daily activities, make it a part of your mindset, and start using it to guide your actions from now on… I’ll bet you dollars to donuts you’ll become at LEAST 50% more successful in every area of your life.

What you need to do is:

Never Wait – Ready, Fire, Aim!

In fact, you’ll probably become three to four times that, 200% more successful in everything you do… but forget about that and start thinking about applying this principle to your life…

What’s it mean?

It means never waiting to do what you want to do. To take an opportunity. To take a risk. To act on an idea you have.

It means understanding that none of us are here forever. That we are humans. That we are lucky if we get a little less than 80 years or so on this earth (on average) and that 20-30% of that time (maybe even more for you?) is already gone and we’ll never get it back.

It means realizing that every single day is the most precious gift available to any of us. And at the risk of sounding corny the saying “that’s why they call it the present” is quite accurate (get it? “Present” like every day is a gift?)

How To Apply It

Have you been thinking of starting a workout program? Don’t wait. You know enough already. Get started now, keep finding out information as you move forward… OR… FAIL forward — and never stop pursuing your goal.

Have you been thinking about asking out a girl? Trying to get a girlfriend? Go do it. She won’t be single forever and you aren’t getting any younger. And tomorrow will never be a better time.

Are you thinking about breaking up with your current partner? Nobody deserves to “settle” for being unhappy. Nobody deserves to be unhappy just because “I’ve been with them for so long…”. The person you spend your life with must be a very deserving person, they must add to your happiness and you must enjoy them — otherwise, ask yourself, “Why are we together?”

Have you been thinking about maybe starting a sideline business to augment your income in this new economy? Do it. Start it now, stop waiting for the “time to be right”. Stop being lazy. Don’t use being tired after work as an excuse. The most successful businessmen I know started their businesses AFTER hours, when the kids went to sleep, burned the midnight oil and kept the vision of being free of their blood sucking boss burning bright in their heads as motivation.

Your situation will never get better until you take action.

“Movement ALWAYS Beats Meditation”

The movie The Secret was wildly popular, even though it was just re-hashed info from the books Think and Grow Rich and The Science of Getting Rich (both books equally about things OTHER than getting rich)… but here’s the thing:

NOTHING will change for you until you take action. That’s the missing link. You can’t sit around imagining a better life all day, do nothing, and expect results.

You need to take action. And not just ANY action. MASSIVE action brings results. And done SPEEDILY. As fast as possible start taking massive action, start failing more, and it’s inevitable that you’ll achieve more.

Remember this:

The most successful high achievers are the most successful high failures!

I just made that up because it’s true with everyone I’ve seen who has achieved something great. To achieve anything worth while it’s necessary to fail. That’s the “fire” part without aiming. Then you get an idea (from failing) of what you should be aiming at or refocusing at and then you start “firing” again.

The quote above “Movement beats meditation” was taught to me by a marketing master, and I’ve always treasured it. You should too.

Where Do You Go From Here?

Look at your life. What do you like? What don’t you like? What to do want to change?

Pick one of those things. You now have two options:

  1. Ignore it. Say it’s “too hard to change” or “I don’t have the time” or “I’m too Lazy” and accept your miserableness as your reality. Bury your head in the sand and continue ignoring your inner callings to greatness… OR..
  2. You go DO SOMETHING to change it/get it/get RID of it. Today. Not tomorrow. NOW.

Only one of these choices makes ANY sense at all…

… for your sake, I hope you choose wisely.

Your life will never change, it will NEVER get better — more happier– unless you make up your mind to NEVER wait… make up your mind to use the Ready, Fire, Aim strategy of success — and get started today.
