b'In the world we live in today we have countless options. The opportunities at our fingertips are so many we can\'t even conceptualize them. We can do, see, explore, invent, and learn almost anything we can imagine. It\'s truly a great time to be alive and experiencing the world that surrounds us. But with all these options, some never find the themselves actually doing any of these things.
\\n
\\nWhat separates those who do, those who make it, those who achieve success and those who... well, don\'t is action. Conjuring up ideas, writing out business plans, mapping financial goals, planning adventurous vacations, thinking of starting that side hustle, running that race, and talking about that "one day", are all great, but without action they\'re nothing.
\\n
\\nWhile visualizing and planning your future are important, those things will not get you anywhere without taking action. Last Friday Fundamental we discussed habits. I laid out the three step process which was:
\\n
\\nVisualize
\\nSet goals
\\nBuild habits
\\nTaking action falls into the third step of building habits. Taking action is where you implement the things you\'ve planned. It\'s the hardest step for a lot of people.
\\n
\\nI\'m sure everyone has thought of a "million dollar idea" at some point, only to never act on it. What\'s stopping you from taking action on your million dollar idea?
\\n
\\nSolution
\\n
\\nTake action now. Taking action is actually quite simple. You don\'t have to set out on day one and move mountains. You just have to take small steps each and every day. If you can just simply put yourself in motion, you start to build momentum eventually becoming unstoppable.
\\n
\\nHere are a few tips on your to take action now.
\\n
\\nBreak your goals down into annual, monthly, and weekly tasks, then focus on those weekly things you need to do. These are usually very small and actionable things, for example, call 5 property owners, or analyze 3 deals, or run 1 mile, or sign up for that online class, or whatever it is that puts you closer towards your goal.
\\nTrack your progress. By tracking your progress, you hold yourself accountable for taking small and consistent action. Write it down in your planner, scratch it on a piece of notebook paper, or log it on an online calendar.
\\nOnly focus on taking that first step. Make that small and achievable. If you can start with small steps, you\'ll eventually get comfortable with taking bigger and bigger steps towards your goals.
\\nKeep your eye on the big picture from time to time. Look up from your weekly and monthly goals to make sure you\'re on track to achieving your long term goals. If you\'ve steered off course, just take some corrective action and get back on track.
\\nMake progress every day, no matter how big or small. Do something every day that puts you closer towards where you want to be tomorrow, next year, and next decade.
\\n
\\nSo many people never even get started taking action towards the things they want. For some, it\'s the fear of the unknown that stops them. For others, it\'s not having everything 100% figured our before they start. If these are stopping you, then great! I\'ve got good news for you. No one knows what the future holds. No one knows everything about the journey before they start. No one has everything figured out. You shouldn\'t expect to yourself.
\\n
\\nMaybe you\'re the person who says you don\'t have the time to take action. Time is the biggest excuse we give ourselves. We act like we\'re busier than we are, and can\'t fit another minute of action into our days. I encourage you to audit your time, and see where you are wasting time in your life. No matter how productive and busy you are, I can almost be sure that there is some time in your day where you are doing things that you could instead be taking action towards the things you want.
