Action Breeds Success!
Matt Levenhagen blog post (reprinted with permission):
Only Through Action will Anything Happen for You!
That may sound obvious, but many people never get anywhere because they don't decide to act.
Some will over analyze a problem. They will over think it. Spending way to much time trying to find the RIGHT solution.
Sometimes the solutions aren't even that far apart. They are all similar and that makes it even more difficult. What do you base the decision on?
Don't FREEZE. Don't become paralyzed. Inaction will not get you anywhere…
A couple examples…
Recently I was alerted by someone that there was a publication that was looking for Blogs… I don't even remember exactly what it was for (A sign of being to busy…)…
But all I needed to do was e-mail the reason my Blog should be included… What makes this Blog special? And then send it out to see if they will except it. Literally a 10 minute process…
Well I could have froze. I could have put it off. I could have been lazy and just did it tomorrow which will never happen as it gets buried under a ton of new stuff to do…
What did I do?
I acted. I immediately typed up that e-mail and sent it!
Will anything come of it? Maybe, maybe not, but it might!
Another example is I see a lot of people trying to decide what to do with this new Adwords Affiliate Policy. I would hate to see people get so caught up in analyzing the problem that they never act… You can ask questions. You should gather enough information to know all your options. But once you do, don't just look at what you've gathered. Pick something and Act!
You have to decide to Just do it! You may fail sometimes. The action may not produce good results… But it will provide results. Even if you just learn from the experience, you sit in a better situation than you were yesterday…
Again, this doesn't mean don't analyze anything. You have to know you're making the right decision. You have to know all your options, but once you do, make the move. Start the ball rolling.
Motivation doesn't come first. You can't sit and wait to be motivated… Action comes first! Act and the motivation will follow…
So look at your problem, gather enough information to make a choice about the solution, and then Act on it…
Action breeds Success…
