DO IT TODAY: STOP WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME
There’s never a better time than the present. Too often, we wait for the perfect time to start losing weight, get out of debt, or have children. Time is constantly passing, and there’s no time to wait!
There’s also never going to be a perfect time. You can start achieving your goal today! Instead of waiting for the perfect time, get started today and make the most of the present moment.
There’s always a way. You can’t control time, but you can control how you use it. Rather than waiting, use your determination and ingenuity to find a way to make the present work for you. Take the opportunities you have and figure out how to bring them to fruition. You can always find a way.
Progress is often slow, so get started as soon as possible. It can take a while to build momentum, so begin building it immediately. Success can take time. How much time do you have? You really don’t know. One thing is certain: the sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll taste success.
Ignore the excuses. You can always invent an excuse to justify postponing action. Most people do this on a daily basis. Do you want the same results as the average person? A year from now, you’ll still have plenty of excuses, but you won’t be any closer to your goal. Forget the excuses and take action.
You’ll be pleased with yourself. Imagine you’re old and at the end of your life. Do you think you’ll regret the things you did, or the opportunities you failed to act upon? You’ll regret your inaction much more than the actions you took. No one wants to die full of regret.
Taking action right now is better than waiting for the perfect moment in the future. That time will never come. Take advantage of today and begin making progress and building momentum.
Begin taking action today with these strategies:
Create a plan that you can begin executing immediately. Your plan should include actions that you can take either today or tomorrow at the latest.
Consider the likely obstacles. What roadblocks are you likely to run into? What can you do to prepare for them? Do you have any solutions? What resources do you have available to you?
Create a reward system. Encourage yourself to take action by promising yourself a small reward after accomplishing a task or two toward your goal.
Find an Accountability Partner. Someone you report to can help you stay on track with your goal. We’d love to be your accountability partner for your financial goals!
Be persistent. Make a habit of taking a small action each day. Small actions might seem like they accomplish little, but the effect is cumulative. Just keep going!
You can get started right here and now! There’s no time like the present to begin living your life fully. What are you waiting for? By this time next year, you could either change your life significantly or still be stuck. Take control of your life, starting today. You’ll be glad you did.
