Take Action, Make Progress, Stay Motivated

June 22, 2014

Hi, how have you chosen to invest in your own success today?

As you know from earlier emails, I refer you and others who have subscribed to this newsletter as

, meaning you're committed to investing in your own success by taking action daily toward that success.

That's what today's message is about:  taking action.

All too often (and this is especially true for entrepreneurs, myself included) we get caught up in contemplating and planning for some big campaign, new product launch or new business venture, but we don't take enough regular action to really feel like we're making progress toward whatever is the main objective.

Often the problem is that we romanticize some big sweeping results from one or a few actions, which may be big actions or maybe not even so.  However, the expectation becomes focused on big results, and when that doesn't happen quite the way we planned we get deflated.  That can erode our confidence and fear creeps back in making us question why we're even chasing this thing.

Big results come from little strides and a series of small victories over time.  I know this doesn't sound as romantic as huge leaps and bounds of little action with large results in an instant gratification sort of way. Truthfully, those kinds of fast and furious results are rare at best.

The key is staying motivated through each small victory.  To stay motivated it helps to periodically

you've accomplished to truly

, and within the larger scope of your vision, understand your big results.

I'll say it again: your big results are in the little victories over time (feel free to tweet that)...and you cannot get to the little victories if you don't consistently take action.

What action have you taken today toward your success? Or, what action do you plan to take today.  It doesn't have to be huge, but you need to do something.  Hit reply and let me know.
