-Anon.
As my Nashville Area Junior Chamber of Commerce Presidency is beginning to ramp up, I am beginning my theme implementation of ACTION! In speaking with my team members, we discuss STRATEGY, CHALLENGES and VISION… mostly we speak of ACTION! Let me explain why…
I have a firm philosophy that "Even a step in the WRONG direction is still the correct ACTION, if the alternative is to do NOTHING." Why? From Newton's First Law - An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force – we realize that being STAGNANT in your life will force you to stand still in the FUTURE. By taking ACTION, even if misguided, drives a inner force of SUCCESS through productive motion. I ask myself – am I in PRODUCTIVE motion? Are you?
We are all FEARFUL of taking action without knowing the answers. I suggest to you that if you have a PLAN and a FOCUS – your action will simply be a byproduct of what needs to occur. You will act without HESITATION and make decisions with CONFIDENCE. Get a PLAN and don't be afraid to make a MISTAKE… at least you are ACTING with productive motion.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
You can be FOOLED into believing that you must have all the answers to the solution before you take the first step…why? HOW can you know what will happen AFTER your actions that will allow you to plan each and every step along the way. WORK IN REALITY… You can control ONE ITEM – your next action step. Take it. Plan the next. Take it. Continue this process until each "small step" RESULTS in your accomplishing the BIGGER goals. It's the little things that make or break your success.
As my great mentor, Andy Herzer, says… "we overestimate what we can accomplish in a day and underestimate what we can accomplish in a year."
Cheers,
Zach
