Action is the act of doing something towards achieving a specific goal.   Action requires you to make strategic moves that will get you closer to where you want to be.  When you think about taking action you want to ask yourself, Will the action that I take move me closer toward the goal that I am trying to achieve?   Keep in mind, however, that just because you take the steps towards achieving your goal, that your goal will be easily attainable.  Sometimes, we can think that we have the right action plan, until we implement the plan and it doesn’t initially produce the outcome that we hoped for.  When this happens, it does not always mean give up on the plan; it means rethink the strategy. 

 

Do the research on what works in similar situations, think about what worked previously, and how can apply it to your current situation.  What works for some people, does not always work for everyone.  There is no one size fits all approach to anything.   You have to think strategically about your specific goal, your abilities, your limitations, your resources, your mindset, how much time you can seriously commit to achieving your goal, and who will support your efforts. 

​

Action requires you to physically, mentally, and spiritually put in the work.  Don’t just talk about your goals.  Don’t just collect the research on the “how to’s,” concerning what you are trying to achieve.  Don’t just think about the strategy.  Don’t just write down the plan, talk about the plan, or think about the plan.  Action requires you to implement the strategy.  After you have the information that you need to move forward, implement the plan.  You will find that you will learn new things along the way and might have to revise the original plan to reach your goals.  Talk with someone who is actually doing the work successfully that is aligned with where you are trying to go. 

​

Although, often times, it is unfortunate that some people will withhold information, and not share with you their knowledge, roadmap, or resources, and see you as competition. They might say, "Oh, I'll share the information with you," but when you contact them, they either never respond to you or they never share their information.  It is a shame that some of us are not willing to help each other achieve success or people will try to sell you information that you can get online for free.  Nevertheless, do not let someone not helping you achieve your goal deter you from achieving your goal.  There is nothing that you cannot find on the internet, or in books when searching using the right key terms related to your goals.  Don’t be afraid to take action.  Move your ideas from thoughts, to plans, and then to actions.  Only you, can stop you.  Take Action. 

 

If you are not successful the first time, you will have learned a lot along the way.  With the gained knowledge you can then apply it when you try again, and you can also help someone else avoid the same pitfalls that you may have encountered before you finally achieve success.  The key point is, Take Action.  If you do nothing, nothing will happen.  If you take action, something will happen eventually, just make sure you stay focused on the end goal and make the right moves to get you closer to achieving them.  Never worry about what other people are doing with their lives.  Stop watching other people succeed or question what they are going to do next.  Focus on you.  When are You going to stop talking about your goals and take action towards achieving them?
