ON ACTION

"Having the world's best idea will do you no good unless you act on it. People who want milk shouldn't sit on a stool in the middle of a field in hopes that a cow will back up to them."
- Curtis Grant

======================================

Most of us can recall opportunities we missed because we failed to act. "Hindsight is always better" is the excuse we give ourselves. And this is true in many cases. But often there is a pattern, a history that repeats itself in our lives.

Like the person on the stool in the middle of the field, we often prepare, sometimes for years, but fail to take the action necessary to fulfill our goals. Amazingly, many companies do this, too. The business buzzword is failing to pull the trigger.

Is there some action you could take today that would improve your life or help you reach a goal?

What might happen if you:

1. Make an important call you have put off

2. Send a letter or note to someone. This could be a thank you, to convey an idea, a query, or (you fill in the blank.)

3. Volunteer for a professional or civic organization

4. Ask for a raise, a new opportunity, advice, information or support

5. Spend more time with your family

6. Take a class or learn a new skill

7. Apologized

======================================

If determining what you really want to be or do whether you're 18 or 80, see my workbook, "BECOMING THE REAL YOU AND GETTING PAID FOR IT!" at www.LindaNash.com/products.html or call 1-800-701-9782

======================================

"The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems."
- Mohandas Gandhi

Take action today to create your tomorrow.
